Granite Helps Those with Spinal Cord Injuries Become More Physically Fit

Granite Telecommunications, LLC, a provider of communications solutions to businesses, contributed $3,326 to Journey Forward this week. Journey Forward is dedicated to bettering the lives of those who have suffered spinal cord injuries through intense exercise programs. The organization works with individuals of all levels and abilities and strives to make its services available to anyone who needs it.

Journey Forward’s founder, Dan Cummings, expressed his appreciation stating, “We at Journey Forward are extremely grateful for Granite's kind and generous donation.”

Granite’s donation will assist Journey Forward in becoming part of the Neurological Recovery Network, a collaborative group of hospitals and fitness and wellness centers across North America, coming together to prove the tremendous benefits of intense exercise, especially locomotor training, after suffering a severe spinal cord injury.
