‘Fundashon Alton Paas’ has put a program together to send 3 young men with SCI and in a wheelchair to Project Walk in Carlsbad, California, as the first step to introduce these types of development to Curacao, so that the whole community can benefit of this medicine we call ‘intense exercise’. Especially the 3 young men(Alton Paas, Steven Cristina, Jurvis Louresn) with SCI that are going and the other people with SCI on the island will get an opportunity for the first time to do something for their health for a better quality and even the possibility to fully recover and walk again on their own strength.
