We are dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by advancing innovative research and improving the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis.
Feeling overwhelmed by holiday advice? Here's ours: ignore it all! As Howard Menaker wisely shares, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to navigating the season with SCI.

The Effort of the Holidays
The holidays, at their heart, are about gathering, belonging, and making space for one another. There’s a little more planning that goes into the shuffle of the holiday season, but it’s worth it.
