Since the accident Dale has joined Spinal Research as Head of Operations and has given me the opportunity to push myself beyond anything I have ever done before and support the important research into Spinal injuries.

We receive no government funding and rely entirely on the support of the public to raise funds for our research. Because of the efforts of our supporters, we have funded innovative medical research that has achieved a number of ground breaking changes in the field.
