Thank you for wearing a ribbon

For years, treating paralysis was considered impossible. But today, thanks to support like yours, groundbreaking research and an innovative treatment, together we’re rewriting that narrative and making recovery possible.

How you make a difference

Advances in science and medicine are making what once seemed impossible, possible. A new treatment, the ARC-EX spinal stimulation system, is helping people regain vital functions and independence. But this is just the beginning. Your support is helping us to keep this progress going, accelerating the research that turns impossible into possible.

Together, we can make recovery possible for everyone

The Spinal Research Recovery Alliance aims to get proven spinal repair treatments from the lab to real-world recovery at speed and scale. With your help, we can fund the real world testing of breakthrough treatments and expand UK clinical trials to ensure people with SCIs are right at the heart of progress.

Your ribbon helps to keep recovery, progress and the need for new treatments firmly on the agenda.

“I would like to see everyone understand that curing paralysis is no longer a pipe dream."

"When the world realises what is possible, the money will follow and we will be able to deliver the function-restoration avenues that are stuck in labs awaiting funding. As someone with a C6/7 injury, it is incredibly frustrating to look down the development pipeline at so many potential areas and know that, but for a lack of money, significant function restoration could be here in a matter of a few years." – Tara, Spinal Research Chair
