It is a campaign of the Canadian Spinal Research Organization that is based on:Â
Awareness, Prevention, and Research of Spinal Cord Injuries. Â
How do we do it?Â
By bringing together the stakeholders around road safety, and uniting them around our cause. With over half of all spinal cord injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes there is a direct connection between safer driving and SCI prevention.  With our partners behind us we intend to raise $1 million dollars for SCI research, and we are almost halfway there.
We believe this campaign is going to make the difference for SCI research by allowing us to fund a clinical trial of transcutaneous neuromodulation here in Canada starting this Fall, 2019.
Paving the Way for a Cure is about building on where we have been, and getting the right partners on board to get where we are going. Spinal cord injury is a largely silent condition that hides life-threatening secondary complications in plain sight. Too many people suffer from chronic pain, isolation, and dangerous secondary complications that are part of paralysis and immobility on the margins of daily life, without the spotlight afforded to other conditions that advocate more actively.
