About Our Programs
Peer Mentor Interviews - We film, edit, and publish the stories of SCI survivors online in order to share their incredible journeys with the public and the newly injured.
Peer Mentor Demonstrations - Our volunteers submit videos on how they have adapted to live independently after SCI, which we edit and publish to spread awareness of what’s possible!

Awareness & Advocacy - Every month, we invite our community members with and without disabilities to participate in a podcast on various social and political topics, highlighting the unique perspectives gleaned from living with SCI and calling on everyone to actively support disability rights.

Imagine A Gift from Your Greatest Nightmare
More Than Walking began as an award-winning 25-minute documentary that tells the stories of Director Jonathan Sigworth and four of his Indian quadriplegic friends as they discover the challenges and opportunities of living with a spinal cord injury. Since 2017, More Than Walking Incorporated is now a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to promote independent living after spinal cord injury worldwide by sharing the experiences of active peer-mentors and expert rehabilitation professionals. We support an international community of spinal cord injury peer mentors to create online videos and share local information that inspires and equips newly injured patients to pursue independent living. Our vision is that people living with spinal cord injuries can advocate for their own independence, pursue life goals, and lead their communities towards greater accessibility and equal treatment for all.
