Imagine a world free of paralysis caused by spinal cord injury.

We fund research that aims to fix paralysis following spinal cord injury.

CatWalk is dedicated to supporting world-class research and innovation. Our goal is simple, to get people out of wheelchairs and back onto their feet. You can help by making a donation, supporting our fundraising projects or spreading the news about CatWalk.
