The Cure Girls are proud to announce that they have donated €10000 to Spinal Research, the UK’s leading charity funding medical research around the world to develop effective treatments for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury.
After our meeting in London of August 2017 with Alison Wadley (Marketing and Communications Manager at Spinal Research), Prof. Elizabeth Bradbury (Professor of Regenerative Medicine & Neuroplasticity) and her team at King’s College London, the Cure Girls were positively impressed by both the work of Spinal Research and Prof. Elizabeth Bradbury, and decided to contribute even more. The Italian charity ‘Marina Romoli Onlus Association’ founded by the Cure Girl Marina Romoli decided to make a donation of €10 000 to Spinal Research.
This donation will go towards Spinal Research’s CHASE-IT project to develop an effective therapy for spinal cord injury using the neuroplasticity enhancing properties of the bacterial enzyme chondroitinase.
We wish the best of luck to all the researchers involved in the project and hope this effort will bring us an effective therapy for chronic spinal cord injury.

Assim como nós mudamos, mudam também as cidades, vinte e cinco anos depois eu voltava a terra da Rainha. Como estive aqui no começo da adolescência (e ainda andava) era uma cidade diferente. Londres foi uma experiência incrível pela receptividade, acessibilidade e intensidade. Receptividade por que pude sentir desde a minha chegada como os laços se fortalecem mesmo à distância, Lolly, seus irmãos Tony e Gary, e sua mãe Maureen me receberam como parte da família que realmente somos. A acessibilidade tornou possível cumprir a agenda realmente intensa que tivemos entre pubs, Paris e turismo ocasional. Nossa primeiro compromisso foi conhecer o pessoal incrível do escritório da Spinal Research, e 
Aguardamos boas noticias para os próximos anos! Nesse dia conheci pessoalmente a Loredana, minha “cure girl sister” da Itália, que estava com uma equipe filmando o primeiro Doc das Cure Girls, espero que em breve todos possam sabem ainda mais sobre nossos projetos e anseios de 7 garotas ao redor do mundo lutando pela cura das lesões na Medula. Que desse encontro surja a possibilidade de tratamentos realmente eficazes para Lesões Medulares. Ainda sonho em assistir um show dos Rolling Stones no Hyde Park, para isso tanto Mick & cia quanto as Cure Girls precisarão da ciência caminhando ao nosso lado. “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes…”
y. Using external stimulation for the nervous system to promote reorganization they are reminding the nerves and muscles how to work again. Muscle spasms are used to build muscle mass and control, using the spasms rather than having to fight against them. They do a lot of weight bearing activities; this in itself promotes healthy bones and fitness. They do not say people will be hopping and skipping out of the door. They do say the best case is a client can regain function and continue to improve as the exercises help a client’s body to remember how to move. Worst case is the client will just leave more independent and healthy. The health benefits are great and this is something that is very much needed for a SCI person. Taken from Project walks site the below are results.
e this kind of therapy benefits all of us. It’s not a cure for paralysis but is a great way to get our bodies fit, possibly improving movement and sensation and all of the above.As a Cure Girl I believe this is something that should be set up around the world, we all could use a Project Walk. I would like to thank Liza, Amanda and Brock for showing my family and I around and I will definitely be back.
