Thank you so much West Milford Rotary Club! We are so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share our work with you!

Our September Donation to Push to Walk 💙
At the West Milford Rotary Club, being recognized as Rotarian of the Month is an opportunity to make a difference. Our September Rotarian of the Month, Tom Ziegenbalg, chose Push to Walk as the recipient of our September donation, helping support an organization that brings strength, independence, confidence, and hope to individuals living with neurological conditions.
Push to Walk serves people living with spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, traumatic and acquired brain injuries, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological conditions. Their specialized, one-on-one exercise programs help clients build strength, improve mobility, maintain independence, and maximize quality of life.
During our presentation, Lyndsay Wright, a Push to Walk board trustee and someone personally living with MS, shared how meaningful the organization’s work is to her. Celine Gustavson, Executive Director, shared the incredible story behind Push to Walk, founded nearly 20 years ago by a family determined to create a place in New Jersey where people with spinal cord injuries could continue to exercise and pursue their potential.
Their message was powerful: There is always hope. And there is always a reason to keep moving forward.
Our donation may be one contribution, but together, these contributions help make specialized programs more accessible and allow Push to Walk to continue changing lives.
👏 Thank you, Tom, for choosing such a meaningful organization.
And thank you to Lyndsay, Celine, and the entire Push to Walk team for the incredible work you do every day.
This is what Rotary Service Above Self looks like—one choice, one organization, one person, and one community at a time.
💙 West Milford Rotary Club - People of Action, Making a Difference.
