The Mission

BreakThru SCI is building a grassroots movement to ensure the urgent unmet needs and lived experiences of people with spinal cord injury are heard—and that promising treatments demonstrating meaningful recovery reach patients as quickly as possible. 

By engaging with people living with SCI and their families, researchers, regulators, and policy leaders, we ensure the voices of those affected are part of the decisions that shape the future of treatment. Together, we advocate for research, regulation, and access policies that recognize the biological complexity, the urgent need for restorative treatments, and what meaningful recovery actually means for people with SCI. 

OUR THREE-FOLD APPROACH

Engaging and educating policymakers and regulators to close SCI-specific regulatory gaps and prioritize relevant outcomes

Mobilizing people with spinal cord injuries, caregivers, and advocates into a coordinated national grassroots advocacy movement

Elevating experiences to define what meaningful recovery looks like in everyday life for those living with spinal cord injuries
