2021 Night To Stand

 

STEP UP.

During the most uncertain year in our 13-year history, many NextStep Kansas City supporters stepped up to ensure the spinal cord injured in Kansas City would continue to have access to Activity-Based Therapy, and accessible fitness resources. Our clients also stepped up to the challenge of having to exercise at home to maintain progress.

STEP FORWARD. 

Because of your support, NextStep Kansas City is excited and ready to take a step forward toward greater progress for our clients, facility, and those living with spinal cord injuries in Kansas City. We want to take Activity-Based Therapy, and accessible fitness to the next level of accessibility and affordability.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

NextStep Kansas City's Night To Stand event is our most important event of the year. Funds, and awareness, raised at this event help create year-long opportunities for NextStep Kansas City and our clients.  We invite you to join us for some fun while you learn about our mission, our clients, and what makes NextStep Kansas City a unique necessity for our community.

In the aftermath of a spinal cord injury, individuals often hear the word Impossible. Depending on the level of injury, there will be a long list of things they will be told they will no longer be able to do. While nearly any level of recovery from a Spinal Cord Injury can be challenging, and incredibly time-consuming, the notion that long-term progress is Impossible is no longer acceptable.

A mountain of evidence pointing to incredible new possibilities is being built from research that used to be deemed impossible. The stories you will hear from some of NextStep Kansas City's clients at our event, Night To Stand, will illustrate how they are changing Impossible, to I'M-POSSIBLE! Their injuries do not define them. Their efforts to be as independent as possible will not be wasted. They have interests, goals, and desires to return to a “normal” life. These things, to them, are not Impossible.
