Martin suffered a spinal injury due to a motorcycle accident in 2004 rendering him paralysed from the neck down. He fought bravely every single day for nearly 20 years. Martin and his family would like to help others in a similar position.

Spinal Research is the UK’s leading charity funding medical research around the world to develop effective treatments for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury. Every year 1,000 people in the UK and Ireland are paralysed following an injury to their spinal cord.

We receive no government funding and rely entirely on the support of the public to raise funds for our research. Because of the efforts of our supporters, we have funded innovative medical research that has achieved a number of ground breaking changes in the field.
