From Martin: In August of 2008 I fell and suffered a devastating spinal cord injury that has left me paralyzed from the shoulders down. I was transferred to Irelands national trauma center within 12 hours. As I lay being prepped for surgery, unable to move, the only thought going through my head was MOVE and that this was a bullshit situation that I would recover from. There and then I asked myself why was there not a cure for spinal cord injury and the only answer that I could come up with was that not enough people like me had worked hard enough on the problem. I am now dedicated to making spinal cord injury a thing of the past for all by helping in the quest to find a cure for SCI. | News From October 16th - 18th Martin will be attending and speaking at The Working2Walk conference in Washington DC. This is the worlds premiere conference bringing world renowned researchers together with those with SCI to educate them on the state of the art in science that will lead to significant improvements in the the functional outcomes of those with SCI. |
