I’ve had a little time to reflect on what a truly incredible week it’s been. This is a moment I’ve long anticipated, and to be honest, it fills me with an overwhelming mix of excitement, anticipation, and deep gratitude. We’re at a pivotal point in our research—a step that brings us closer than ever to transforming the lives of people living with a spinal cord injury.

Led by Griffith University and funded by the Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation and our other partners, a world first human clinical trial is officially beginning. With all approvals in place, you can now click here to express your interest in participating in the trial.

None of this would have been possible without you. Every challenge, every setback, and every triumph on this journey has been shared with our incredible supporters. Your belief in my mission and your generous contributions have been the lifeblood of this effort. This is your victory too, and I am profoundly grateful for every single one of you who has followed this journey and made it possible.

Thank you for being an integral part of this groundbreaking work. Together, we are building a future where a spinal cord injury doesn’t mean a life of limitations, but one full of possibility.

This is just the beginning of Griffith University’s human clinical trials in pursuit of a treatment and the best is yet to come!

The day after I found out about the final approvals, I recorded this video to share some of my reflections of this journey.

Everything is Possible!
