They Shall Walk to Visit Echo Lake Elementary School Science Night with a real Iron Man Suit.
Monty K Reed, the founder of They Shall Walk, who is recovering from a parachute accident and paralysis, will be visiting the Echo Lake Elementary School Science Night on January 27, 2011. He will be wearing the LIFESUIT robotic exoskeleton that is a real life version of the DC comics Iron Man suit. The LIFESUIT is a powered brace that allows paralyzed people to walk, dance and jump.
On Thursday evening January 27, 2011 at 6:30pm Monty K Reed and other volunteers from the local medical research company: They Shall Walk, will visit the Echo Lake Elementary School, 19345 Wallingford Ave. N, Shoreline, 98133. During the science night Monty K Reed will demonstrate the LIFESUIT robotic exoskeleton at 7pm and take questions from the crowd. Monty K Reed was paralyzed in 1986 during a training exercise with the US Army Airborne Ranges from joint base Lewis McCord. He has been in recovery for two decades. Technically he is a quadriplegic because he has limited mobility in all four limbs. In spite of that Monty, has begun rehab skiing and biking to help improve his health.
