Not many years ago, a person with a spinal cord injury, someone like me, would have been told, "get used to the wheelchair, friend, there’s not much in store for you." To believe that there could be an alternative to a lifetime of paralysis was considered a "false hope." |

 Kings' Announcer Bob Miller and former Honorary Chairman Bill Shoemaker |
That’s not the case today. The hope is true. Treatments and therapies are just ahead of us. This isn’t just wishful thinking. Eminent scientists and clinicians around the world agree now: spinal cord injury can be fixed. The medical breakthroughs will restore function in many people with spinal trauma, returning us to fuller and more productive lives and saving millions of dollars for unneeded care. We are not there yet. But thanks to a dedicated community of researchers, we are closing in on paralysis. |
This site contains information that is targeted to the scientists. It is our belief that collaboration and sharing of resources will speed the process of discovery and hasten us toward our goal—we want to put ourselves out of business. |
