The Daniel Heumann Fund for Spinal Cord Research was founded in 1986 for the purpose of identifying and funding breakthrough projects in the field of spinal cord research.

Over the past few years, major new discoveries and understandings in the mysteries of neural function and regeneration have been made possible thanks to dedicated researchers and scientific investigators. With the all important financial support of our fund and others, the dream of restoring mobility and healthy function to those who have suffered devastating spinal cord injuries has become an ever closer reality.

Through the generous contributions of individuals and organizations across the country and around the world, this vitally important field of medical knowledge continues to advance. With your help and an untiring belief in the worthiness of this goal, the lives of countless individuals and their families can again be made whole.

We need your help to bridge the gap. The journey of a lifetime begins with a single step --- together, we can make it a giant step.
