Well only near you if you live in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India. The LIFESUIT robotic exoskeleton will be arriving soon at one of the best medical school and
PMR (Physical Medicine & Rehab) department in India at the CMC
learning hospitals in India, many say “one of the best in the world”. The Christian Medical College (CMC) is located in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India which is just a hundred miles inland from the coastal city of Channai (Formerly Madras). Monty K Reed visited the hospital in June and July of 2010 to set up the partership with the one hundred and ten year old hospital. The CMC receives five thousand out patients every day, on

average one hundred of them are paralyzed. They have a great need for the LIFESUIT robotic exoskeleton and no one else has offered a solution like this at no charge. You see the hospital has a policy that is identical to the policy of They Shall Walk, they do not charge for the care.
Even though They Shall Walk is responsible for creating the industry and the concept of using exoskeleton for rehab there are others who would like to sell similar systems for $100,000 or $150,000. They Shall Walk is a non profit medical research company.
There are very few NON-PROFIT medical research companies. The only other one that gets much news was funded by Bill Gates with a $42 million grant to develop a vaccine for malaria.
They Shall Walk is the only NON-profit medical research company that is funded entirely by individual donations from the lower class and middle class. “No wealthy millionaires have given a single penny to They Shall Walk” Monty K Reed.
Not a penny of tax dollars has been given to They Shall Walk.
Average donations are $25 to fund a $420 million project.
So far the LIFESUIT robotic exoskeleton is ten years into the forty year project. It is sad that the US government has spent over $30 million in tax payer funds to non experts in the exoskeleton industry. They Shall Walk has been able to achieve what they did with $18,000.
Imagine what They Shall Walk will do when some real money comes in. Well some of it has just started to come in the door, thanks to new sponsors like Solid Works, Sam’s Club, Sears, Ford Motor Corp., Bill Pierre Ford, Snoqualmieretreat.com, Events Logistics Washington, and the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce.
Because of your donations: They Shall Walk. Thank you for giving, volunteering and advocating for www.theyshallwalk.org
