Running for Spinal Cord Injuries Australia
I'm taking part in the Brisbane Running Festival 2012 and hoping to raise much needed funds for Spinal Injuries Australia. In March this year my sister was involved in a serious car accident that has left her paralysed. Organisations like Spinal Cord Injuries Australia help both the patients and the families cope with the enormous challenges that they face....
This August, I’m going to be sweating it out and doing my best to complete a gruelling course, but in doing so I will be making my run count! I am honoured to be a part of this amazing race and helping a great cause, and I’d really appreciate your support in this endeavour.
ALL donations you give go directly to charity, so click on DONATE NOW!
Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference!
Spinal Cord Injuries Australia
Every day one person across Australia will hear the dreaded phrase: “I’m sorry, but you will never walk again” You can imagine what a devastating impact these words can have on a recently injured person, their family, colleagues and friends.
SCIA’s focus is to get people ‘back on track’ following a spinal cord injury—finding the solutions to obstacles that may arise and providing support to ensure people with a spinal cord injury remain actively involved in personal, social and vocational activities. SCIA’s services encompass all of life, from hospital to home to workplace, and the organisation strives to develop programs to educate and support the SCI community. The organisation endeavours to provide the relevant information and services to assist those with a spinal cord injury, their family, friends and the wider community and to ensure that advances in research and service development throughout the world result in advances for those with a spinal cord injury here in Australia.
