About Wings for Life:
The
Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research private foundation has dedicated
itself to an ambitious goal: Making spinal paralysis curable. The
accident hazard is ever-present and goes beyond the realm of extreme
sports. Every year about 130,000 people suffer a severe spinal cord
injury, more than the half result of traffic accidents.
Wings
for Life is devoted to the regeneration and cure of the injured spinal
cord, investing its entire energy to make this vision come true.
Considerable findings in animal experiments dispel any doubts about the
feasibility of this ambitious project. Unfortunately a breakthrough in
human medicine eludes us still. Every donation represents an important
step toward financing the best research projects and hope for spinal
cord patients everywhere.
