Our Foundation has no support from the state or from other public organisation and lives on people's donations. The research is very expensive so that our foundation has an extreme need of funds.

Also, the psychological impact of the Spinal Cord Injury (Para and quadriplegia) is less impressive on the people's imagination than that of other diseases as f.i. tumors or degenerative diseases. But the problem is severe and the economical burden for the families and for the Country is enormous, as well as the physical and psychological suffering of the patients and of their relatives. The frequency of these lesions is continuously increasing and in Italy about 2000 young people every year are put in a wheelchair for the rest of their life.

Our foundation is a non-profit one and it is classed ONLUS so that donation are tax-deducible.
