Mission

The Morton Cure Paralysis Fund (MCPF) is committed to finding a cure for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury and other disorders of the central nervous system.  MCPF is also a community of people that provides informational and emotional support to those affected by paralysis.

Strategy

MCPF supports cutting-edge ideas, enabling researchers to gather the proof-of-concept data needed to pursue multimillion dollar grants from large financiers such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, and the National Science Foundation.  In effect, MCPF helps place new research products in the investigation pipeline.

 Research Symposium a Success

The Morton Cure Paralysis Fund's Third Annual Research Symposium on Sunday, May 17 was a tremendous success!   Held at the Earle Brown Heritage Center in Minneapolis, the symposium featured Dr. Anthony Windebank of the Mayo Clinic Neural Regeneration Program.  Dr. Windebank  provided an overview of the spinal cord injury research taking place around the world as well as in his own laboratory.  His remarks were followed by an enthusiastic Q&A session with the 115 people in attendance.  The event was hosted free by the Morton Cure Paralysis Fund.  MCPF will be posting the symposium video within a few weeks.
