About Us

People with a spinal cord injury are at the heart of everything we do.

A spinal cord injury (SCI) can happen to anyone, at any time. The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation aims to facilitate, collaborate and initiate the connections and research required to find a cure for paralysis.

Perry Cross started the Foundation after he broke his neck playing rugby union in 1994. He is now a C2 ventilated quadriplegic, paralysed from the chin down requiring 24/7 care. Perry has dedicated his life to finding a cure for paralysis.

We Stay Committed

The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation is committed to
finding a cure for paralysis.

Whilst there are several not-for-profit organisations, companies, universities, scientists and researchers around the world with a similar goal, very few work together to unite intelligence and action. This is where the Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation differs. PCSRF aims to understand the gaps and either facilitate or provide support and services that are needed.

To achieve the vision, the core focus of the organisation is on facilitation of research however it also applies it activities in a three-pronged approach:
