France (TransWorldNews) Stand Together to End Paralysis
Now – www.stepnow.org - a spinal cord injury global grassroots
initiative launch their first worldwide campaign to urge governments to
support and fund research that targets a cure for paralysis.
On October 4th 2006 paraplegics, quadriplegics and their families in 40
countries will participate in a global mailing, the first in a series
of actions they hope will raise awareness of the devastation caused by
a spinal cord injury, not only to the individual but also to family,
highlighting all the ensuing health complications and most importantly
the urgency for a cure.
Countless SCIs (spinal cord injured) turn to the internet for
information on the many medical, psychological and social problems
brought about by their injury and the need for its meticulous care.
They also search for the latest worldwide developments in the research
for a cure that is steadily emerging from stem cell technology and
other regenerative therapies. This is a journey that brings them into
contact with others from their own country, neighbouring states and
even those from right the other side of the globe.
United in the same quest – a cure for paralysis – they have
now joined forces through www.stepnow.org - their own global cyber
network where members take to action on both a local and global level
in their support of stem cell research, regenerative medicine and the
fight for a cure.
www.stepnow.org will not stop ‘thinking tall’ until a cure becomes our reality.
