National Spinal Cord Injury Association - Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter

The National Spinal Cord Injury Association - Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter (NSCIA-SWC) is dedicated to serve others who become paralyzed as a result of spinal cord injuries or disease. The organization is involved in the development of systems of comprehensive care, treatment, rehabilitation and community living, which include functioning as advocates for independent living and advisors to peers and families of individuals with spinal cord injuries or diseases.

Our Vision

As with all organizations, our resources are limited, so we cannot meet all requests for assistance or contribute to all the causes we believe in. To help guide our focus we have identified the following primary objectives that resources will be allocated to.

• To provide counseling and advice to newly injured individuals and their families to help them overcome the fears, doubts, and numerous obstacles facing those with spinal cord injuries.
• To provide education and prevention services to the youth in our community to raise awareness of spinal cord injuries and the activities that can lead to injuries.
• To provide services and activities to our members to help build a strong network within our community, and to assist those in need
• To act as an advocate on behalf of our members to help make sure public places are accessible and they are not discriminated against.
• To provide funding and assistance to research efforts that are striving to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.

Ongoing Research

A portion of the proceeds generated through the Wheels & Heels 5k Run, Walk, Roll will be directed towards research efforts to help further the cause to find a cure for spinal cord injury. This research attracts the finest doctors and researchers in the world who deal with spinal cord injuries. Together, with the support of events like this, they are ever closer to unlocking the mysteries of spinal cord injury.
