Every two hours, someone in the UK will become paralysed. Globally, it is estimated that 15.4 million people are living with paralysis. At Spinal Research our vision is to create a world where paralysis can be cured, no matter when the injury occurred or where in the world.

Story

Hello you found our JustGiving page.......

Thanks for coming to our Justgiving website....As we are writing this the snow is falling and the marathon seems a long long way away. The first picture above was at the Serpentine 10K on 'New Years Day' after a late new years eve. We have both kept going through the snow which is freeeeeeezin. We are due to run a 15mile race in benfleet on what we are sure will be a very chilly January 24th.......... A small donation and an encouraging message will go a long long way and be very very appreciated.

As you can see in the picture above Richard has been practising his starting position with Josephs instruction, Julie is planing a rather more stylish outfit than what was in her xmas stocking, seen in picture2, and with Millies encouraging words 'Go on mummy and daddy you can win!!' I am sure we will get through to the end........ Just need everyone else to dig deep and be kind enough to make a donation to Spinal Research ;)

The instructions to donate are here......
