JUST weeks out from Alex McKinnon’s wedding, remarkable footage has emerged of the former NRL forward walking with assistance at his spinal recovery centre on the Gold Coast.

Fiancée Teigan Power posted an inspirational video of McKinnon striding forward in a frame and harness with the help of two crew members.

The footage highlights the hard work and effort the ex-Dragons and Knights back-rower has displayed since sustaining serious spinal injuries in a tackle against Melbourne three years ago.

McKinnon recently said walking his long-term partner Teigan down the aisle at their wedding was “physically not possible”, but his latest progress showcases his determination to defy the odds.
