Amy's Wheels at Work

I am spending the work day in a wheelchair for Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research because I hope to raise awareness, empathy and funds.

Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research

We carry out practical research to improve quality of life after paralysis

Charity Registration No. 1183744

Story

Paralysis is a fact of life for the 40,000 people living with spinal cord injury, and it can happen to anyone. For the majority of people, being unable to walk is just another challenge to add to the many other difficulties they face on a daily basis. Pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections and pain are all a daily threat to quality of life, making it hard to 'get on with life'. SMSR is tackling these day to day challenges through research to ensure that individual's with spinal cord injury have the best quality of life possible.
