Imagine losing the ability to move and feel for the rest of your natural life. That is the reality faced by millions of individuals worldwide who have fallen victim to a paralysing spinal cord injury. Walkoncemore funds cutting edge research into a cure for this traumatic and debilitating condition.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

A spinal cord injury (SCI) can be a traumatic blow to the spine that fractures or dislocates vertebrae. The damage begins at the moment of injury but can also be a result from diseases or illnesses such as Polio, Transverse Myelitis, Multiple Sclerosis, AVM’s, Spina Bifida, Friedreich’s Ataxia, etc

Some injuries will allow almost complete recovery. Others will result in complete paralysis below the level of impact. But paralysis, along with the associated problems of bowel/bladder control, sexual function, pressure sores & skin care, pain and spasms, is very complex and no two cases appear to be the same. This has made a cure a very difficult and daunting prospect. However, now more than ever before, there is reason to hope that a cure is in fact imminent – that reason for hope is stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Walkoncemore, are determined to help that cure arrive sooner.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
