Mary Ellen Buning, president of RESNA's board of directors, joined a range of experts in London to serve as a judge for Toyota Mobility Foundation's “Mobility Unlimited Challenge.” The $4 million challenge seeks to support “radical improvements in the mobility and independence of people with lower-limb paralysis through smarter assistive technology.” Five finalists will be announced in January with each receiving a $500,000 development grant.
