As many of you know I was paralyzed from the shoulders down in an accident back in 1976. I was told I would never walk again and with hind sight it was foolish to believe that. Never say Never

It's been 31 years now and I've survived paralysis long enough to be able too see the beginning of the end of it. (paralysis) Things are happening so fast now I should be able to see the true end.

Seven years ago I just got around to looking at what's going on in spinal cord research and was amazed at how close we were and what a well kept secret this was.

In the past few years I have been fortunate to meet and visit with some of the top researchers in the field. During the past two years I have come to learn and understand that science is not stopping paralysis from being cured. It's money and in the big picture not even a lot is needed.

State governments are by far out spending our national government in this research.

How this can be I cannot understand and I have tried.

Can 200 to 400 thousand people with paralysis be such a minority that a cure can be with held, apparently so.

In 2008 there are 4 groups that I know of who are taking their treatments into human clinical trials. The heads of these 4 groups spend to large of a percentage of their time out begging for money when they would rather be doing their real work.

I joined 10 friends because I want a cure ASAP and by going this route we are putting the money right in the hands of the people doing the work.

No foundation, no middle people.

I have pledged to raise 1000.00 this year and along with your donation on this site I plan to hold a couple fundraising events through out the year that will be added to my total.

The money I raise will go to Dr. Stephen Davies in Colorado.

If you don't want to hassle with the paypal option please send me an email and we'll work some thing out.

Thanks, Leo
