A CURE TO BE FREE AGAIN
Google Trend says Google users searched for “spinal cord injury” more than ever before or after in October 2004 when Superman, Christopher Reeve, passed away due to complications from his high cervical spinal cord injury.
“It then was in October 2004 that our movement lost its most recognizable face, and our most passionate advocate for a cure. Since then, as technical traders say about a stock chart, the trend is from the “upper left to the lower right. People are searching less and less for the term “spinal cord injury”.”
This is something of a worry. And something that brings a great sadness to me and many others I’m sure. How many of us are in this world who before 2004 and since then have suffered a spinal cord injury and who are searching for a cure, hoping that soon we’ll see a way to have us all back on our feet again.
This trend is bad for all of us. We need to get out there and raise awareness that spinal cord injury doesn’t mean an end to your life. But it also doesn’t mean that you loose hope for a cure. One day this will happen and if we all keep spreading the word, talking to as many people who will listen about our cause then one day this will come.
Just a month before my own accident Christopher Reeve also had a riding accident which left him with considerably more paralysis. But he didn’t give up. He and his wife spent their life time trying to raise money for spinal research.
The cure unfortunately didn’t come soon enough for Christopher but we all need to continue to support research and find the cure for Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.
Being Cure Girls we are trying to spread awareness and show people all over the world that a cure for Chronic Spinal Cord Injury is still something vitally important. This is something we all believe in and we know will one day become reality, if we just keep on fighting. Never giving up.
Therefore when people do searches now, it should trend up and up and up to the right. Because the Cure Girls are now raising awareness and raising funds for spinal research, this is not the end, it’s the beginning. This is something new, but it is something we are building on.
“We were all born to walk not to roll”.

Freedom…
Andremo oltre i limiti e confini liberi vedrai
faremo cose che non hai osato immaginare mai
andiamo…
Via senza più problemi andiamo
via senza regole
Godersi giorno dopo giorno
ogni momento che verrà
sarà diverso mai più tempo perso
aspettando che la vita va …

Invia una mail e lotta con noi per la CURA!
Il 9 gennaio, il presidente del Comitato Italiano Paralimpico Luca Pancalli (tetraplegico), ha dichiarato al TG1:
“Tornassi indietro vorrei la vita esattamente come è stata incidente compreso… La felicità è desiderare esattamente ciò che si ha.”
Questa frase è stata utilizzata più volte per sponsorizzare la vendita del libro da lui scritto.
Mi sento con tutta onestà presa in giro e reputo questa dichiarazione controproducente per la ricerca di una cura delle lesioni spinali, in quanto falsifica la sofferenza quotidiana di coloro che vivono ogni giorno con le gravi conseguenze che la lesione al midollo spinale comporta.
Per questo in qualità di portavoce del Movimento “Sruotiamoci” ho scritto al Presidente Pancalli e alla RAI perchè ci conceda una sorta di diritto di replica. Ma abbiamo bisogno del vostro aiuto.
Aprendo questo link http://cellulestaminaliebombeatomiche.blogspot.it/2013/01/invia-una-mail-e-lotta-con-noi-per-la.html potrete inviare una semplice mail, aiutando me e altri ragazzi con lesione spinale cronica ad ottenere la possibilità di avere voce in TV. Bastano davvero pochissimi secondi.Se sottoscriverete il nostro appello chiedendo alla Rai (Radio Televisione Italiana) e al TG1 di concederci il diritto di replica, potremo avere la possibilità di replicare alla affermazioni di Pancalli e far sapere a chi non conosce la lesione spinale cronica, il motivo per cui la ricerca di una cura debba essere considerata una necessità.
GRAZIE A TUTTI QUELLI CHE SI DIMOSTRERANNO SENSIBILI E CI AIUTERANNO IN QUESTA BATTAGLIA PER LA CONQUISTA DELLA CURA E DELLA NOSTRA VERA VITA INDIPENDENTE!
Vi abbraccio

THE SPINAL INJURY IS A FORM OF TORTURE…SIGN AND FIGHT WITH US FOR THE CURE!
On 9 January, the president of the Italian Paralymic Committee, Mr. Luca Pancalli stated on RAI’s (Italian Broadcasting Corporation’s) TG1 that:
“If I could live life again I would include my accident (which left me a quadriplegic). Happiness is wanting exactly what you already have.”
In response to this insulting statement made by a public personality, Ms. Loredana Longo, spokesperson for the Sruotiamoci CURE paralysis movement wrote a letter to Mr. Pancalli condemning his statement as counterproductive to cure research as it falsifies the daily suffering of those living with spinal cord injury.
Under the banner “Chronic spinal cord injury is a form of torture”, Italian cure activists are demanding that RAI give them the right of reply to show the reality of spinal cord injury.
In Ms. Longo’s own words, “To show that aside from living life from a wheelchair, we are forced to urinate from a catheter, use invasive methods to empty our bowels, and are subject to the effects of liver damaging drugs.”
In just two short days Italians have sent over 150 emails to RAI to back up their demands for a right of reply.
You can help them by doing the same.
Please send your email by completing the below fields.
