OAKLAND, NJ — New Jersey Devils' forward Kenny Agostino visited Push To Walk this month.
Agostino visited the nonprofit organization after learning that co-founder Darren Templeton, a former ice hockey player, sustained a serious spinal cord injury in 2004. He helped create Push To Walk in 2007 to help people who have suffered spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other neurological mobility impairments improve their well-being.
