Kevin Mills ACP

Hello, my name is Kevin Mills. I am the Co-Founder of Walk It Off along with my wife Heather. In February of 2009, at the age of 28, I sustained a spinal cord injury while attending my sister’s wedding in Cuba. I was swimming in the ocean when a large wave picked me up and drove me head first into the sand. I am a C6 quadriplegic as a result. 

From November of 2009 through to April of 2011, I periodically traveled to attend an Activity Base Therapy (ABT) program in the United States I made amazing gains including an increase in core balance and strength, increased arm function, and more independence. I am a very active person and took special interest in rock climbing and had competed as a short distance runner prior to my accident. After my injury, I was drawn to hand-cycling and bike up to 80 – 100 km on a daily basis. I have completed 6 full marathons and 24 half marathons in both my wheelchair and hand-cycle. My next challenge is to bike across Canada. You can follow my progress at pedalingpossibilities.ca

Prior to my accident, I worked as an Advanced Care Paramedic. I am unable to continue my career in paramedicine so decided to go back to school where I completed an honours degree in Justice and Public Safety through the University of Guelph. As Co-Founder and member of the BOD I take a special interest in providing peer support to clientele and our community.

Dr. Danielle Warner, D.C., B.H.Sc (hon).

My name is Dr. Danielle Warner and I am a family chiropractor with Foster Family Chiropractic & Associates. In 2001, I graduated from the University of Western Ontario with an honours bachelor degree in Health Sciences. I graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College Magna Cum Laude, receiving an award for exceptional communication and commitment to patient education in my clinic year.

Before establishing my practice at FFC, I supported chiropractic practices all over Ontario as a locum doctor. My chiropractic practice is focused primarily on providing families with the opportunity to grow in health through improved nervous system function. I am a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). As part of the Chiropractic Pediatric Certification Program, I have completed continuing education courses in pre and post natal and infant care, including utilization of the Webster Technique.

I am a regular contributing writer to various wellness-based magazines in York Region and have lectured extensively on a variety of health related topics. Currently, I am the president of the Business Women Networking Association for the Newmarket chapter.

Contributing to my own wellness regimen, I ran my first marathon in 2010 and today I enjoy a wellness lifestyle that includes both regular running and yoga. My greatest passion is my family, being blessed with a caring husband and two beautiful daughters.
