I am a C2 ventilated quadriplegic and I started this Foundation to find a cure for paralysis. I want to walk again. I want to stand up and hug my family again and I want to see my friends with injuries do the same. 🙌 Read more here > taxtimegiving2021.raisely.com #thankyou

Today I enjoyed the privilege of having pancakes and ice cream with Chanaye, who suffered a spinal cord injury in a motor vehicle accident seven months ago. Now a T2 paraplegic, Chanaye has the most incredible outlook on life. What an inspiration. 🙌🏻 Perry Cross 💚 #inspiration

Check out this incredible microscopic image from our research lab! This was taken by Dr Ronak Reshamwala, from the Spinal Injury Project team, and shows olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) which have been transplanted as a spheroid into the injured spinal cord (OECs are red).

We are so grateful to the Usher Cup surf contest for their incredible fundraising over the weekend! Thank you to the amazing team and all of the supporters for raising $15,000 to go towards our Intensive Rehabilitation Trial. #Grateful #fundraising #charity

We are excited to let you know our Intensive Rehabilitation Trial is progressing! The Spinal Injury Project Team had an important meeting with the contract research organisation and the final protocol was reviewed which ensures the trial will comply with good clinical practice.

Long-term rehabilitation programs can improve health outcomes like joint function and blood flow and as a result can enhance mobility and independence. Read more here; pcsrf.org.au/intensive-reha… #research #paralysis #quadriplegic #cureparalysis #spinalcordinjury #medicalresearch
