Our Story

WALKING WITH ANTHONY WAS BORN FROM A LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT THAT COULD HAVE DEFINED A FUTURE OF DESPAIR BUT INSTEAD SPARKED A MOVEMENT OF HOPE.
When Anthony Purcell suffered a devastating spinal cord injury in 2010, his mother, Micki Purcell, refused to accept paralysis as his fate. Driven by love and determination, Micki and Anthony founded Walking With Anthony to provide not only access to critical rehabilitation but also hope for thousands facing similar challenges. Through this organization, Micki and Anthony have committed to ensuring that everyone with a spinal cord injury has the opportunity to pursue recovery.

Our Mission

TO FOREVER CHANGE THE RECOVERY OUTCOME OF SPINAL CORD INJURY, CURRENTLY PERCEIVED AS UNCHANGEABLE.
We believe everyone with SCI deserves access to life-changing medical care. Through our grant programs, we provide immediate financial assistance for critical therapies, specialized equipment, medical supplies, mental health support, and more.

We’re committed to empowering individuals to get stronger, live healthier, and for some regain the ability to walk again.

We strive to instill resilience as they navigate the unforeseen challenges of spinal cord injury, helping them embrace hope for the future.

REHABILITATION

FIRST YEAR REHAB = $100K+

Generally, insurance only covers ~ 20 days of rehab. There is a demanding, continual need for so much more.

THERAPY

LIFE-CHANGING THERAPIES

Today there are many proven therapies pushing the limits of science available to individuals with SCI.

EDUCATION

NEEDLESSLY TRAPPED IN WHEELCHAIRS

Every day medical establishments tell these people they’ll “never walk again.”
