People living with spinal cord injuries worldwide
In December 2007, David suffered a catastrophic spinal injury that left him 60% disabled and told he'd never return to work. Instead of accepting defeat, he assembled a recovery team and spent five years regaining his independence. Now, inspired by spinal injury warriors he discovered during lockdown, David is driving around the globe to raise £10 million for research that could help children and young people with spinal injuries live better lives.
Spinal cord injuries affect millions worldwide, yet research funding remains critically underfunded compared to other medical conditions. These numbers show why David's mission is so vital for creating change.
