PCSRF is currently funding spinal injury research at the following universities
The cost of every spinal cord injury to the Australian society is significant. The estimated lifetime cost per incidence of quadriplegia is $9.5 million. The total annual cost of spinal cord injury in Australia is estimated to be $2 billion. Australia’s most promising hope of a cure right now is estimated to cost $30 million required to progress to the first human clinical trial.
The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation has one end goal - to find a cure for paralysis for all and improve the quality of life for those living with or affected by it. It has raised and injected over $12 million dollars into specific spinal injury cure projects within Australia and continues to work tirelessly to fundraise, lobby and facilitate relationships required to ensure an urgent cure is at the forefront of Australia’s medical agenda.
