I joined the Cure Girls in February 2013 after a difficult period in my life… One of the worst consequences of spinal cord injury occurred and I had a pressure sore, spending the whole of 2012 in bed. The situation made me realise how unbearable it is to depend on others for absolutely everything you need. I sadly realise that only a cure could let me live a life with no fear. So I decided to throw myself into raising awareness of the severe consequences of spinal cord injury and the urgency of finding a cure as soon as possible. After being a quadriplegic for 28 years being Cure Girl was the only choice I could make.
