The annual festival, Push Nation Fest is not just any event - it’s a celebration of surviving SCI; allowing people to push the boundaries of what it means to live with paralysis. The event is designed to bring people from the paralysis community together (along with the numerous exhibitors!), creating the perfect atmosphere to push and encourage one another in a safe environment.
The newest technology, entertainment, activities and hands-on workshops make an inspiring combination, and one quite unlike you’ll have seen before. This celebration of people demonstrates not only the strength of this community, but encouragement for the future as well.
