The Campaign to Cure Paralysis Map - add your name!

Ever wonder if other people living with paralysis live near you? Do you sometimes need a reminder that the community of people affected by paralysis - those of us who live with it, our families, friends and others -is quite large and diverse? Would you like to let others know you are out there as well, especially for those who are newly injured? How about helping to raise awareness of the Campaign to Cure Paralysis?

The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation is asking those affected by paralysis -- the injured, their families and friends, caregivers and professionals -- to add their names and stories to the Campaign to Cure Paralysis map, which has been relaunched with better visualization tools and an expanded access to the paralysis community.

They hope that this map will help raise the visibility of the paralysis community, and that those who add their names will also avail themselves of the resources on our site to help them.

You can find the map here. I encourage everyone to participate and be counted and to ask your families, friends, caregivers and professionals to join in as well.

If you've never visited the Reeve Foundation site, take a moment to do so and see the many resources they offer.
