Leaving a meaningful gift will help us continue the journey to discover a cure for paralysis. Every bequest, no matter its size, makes a difference to those suffering with spinal cord injury.
‘We have been supporters of the Foundation and the groundbreaking research into Spinal Cord Injury repair being undertaken at Griffith University for many years. We hope to continue this support for many more years to come. We are happy to have nominated a pecuniary legacy in our wills, so that after we have gone, we can still be of support to ongoing research projects.’
– Des and Kaye Hastie
