Join us and our partner charities in raising awareness about spinal cord injury and the devastating impact an injury can have on individual lives.
We will be using this special day to update the SCI community on our hopes for a future where paralysis is no longer a life sentence.

“If I could gain a small amount of function in my wrists and fingers it would mean I could hold my wife’s hand and stroke my dog. I am planning on starting a family and this would mean I could pick my child up and put them on my lap.” – Gavin
