Raising money for

Spinal Research

Charity Registration No. 281325

Spinal Research is a pioneering charity. Its aim is to find ways to repair spinal cord injury and reverse the paralysis that results from it. Based in the UK and recognised as a leader in its field, Spinal Research funds groundbreaking projects at scientific and medical institutions around the world. The next landmark is the launch of clinical trials with paralysed volunteers. These trials will test innovative treatments that could repair damage in the human spinal cord, and so restore sensation and movement.

My story

Welcome to my justgiving page! I’m running the 2009 London Marathon for a charity very close to my heart – Spinal Research.

In June 2002 my friend Tom Harper broke his neck in a swimming pool accident and is now paralysed from the neck down. Despite this (and a year in hospital) Tom has remained positive, rebuilt his life and set up his own technical design company. He’s also recently redesigned and overseen the rebuild of his and his girlfriend’s house inBournemouth. Since Tom’s accident I’ve met others who have suffered from spinal injury, one being my boyfriend'sNan(Margaret) who sadly died in April 2008.

This will be the second time I have raised money for Spinal Research, it’s a great charity and gives hope to everyone who has been touched by spinal damage.

A bit about Spinal Research - More than 40,000 people in the UKare paralysed as the result of damage to the spinal cord. The spinal cord cannot repair itself unaided, but research has already shown that there are ways to generate some re-growth in the spinal column. Spinal Research has no direct government funding so replies totally on donations.

Please help us raise money to help people like Tom and Margaret.

Thanks for your support,
