New tenant at former Uncle Moe's Planet Georgetown space
The Georgetown Lab and Office of They Shall Walk is moving into the old Uncle Moe's space at 6266 13th Ave S, and their website is plugging for volunteers.
They shall walk is "a non-profit 501C3 medical research organization. It was founded to raise awareness of the plight of disabled persons and develop technology to improve their quality of life. Recognizing the need for better mobility beyond the wheelchair, They Shall Walk is developing an intelligent robotic powered brace called the LIFESUIT™ to allow paraplegics and elderly to freely walk again..."
Their grand opening is scheduled for November 14th, to coincide with the Art Attack. A message they sent out on a neighborhood list serve stated that "...a group of Georgetown business owners has committed to support the work of They Shall Walk by committing to pay the rent for the lab space for two years. " In contacting the non profit, I was told that the businesses wanted to "remain anonymous".
Updates are regularly posted on their Facebook page. [Hat tip, v.v.]
