Glenside Lions have donated $1000 to the Lions Australia Spinal Cord Fellowship. This is another project Glenside Lions regularly support.Around 15,000 Australians live with a spinal cord injury. The cost to patients and their families can be immense and the cost to the Australian health care system is approximately $2 billion per annum.The spinal cord is an extension of the brain and runs from the neck to the lower back. The spinal cord consists of millions of nerve fibres that transmit information to and from the limbs, trunk and organs of the body. A spinal cord injury happens if pressure is applied to the spinal cord, and/or the blood and oxygen supply to the cord is disrupted.The purpose of the Fellowship is to support StepAhead Australia (previously known as the Spinal Cord Society of Australia) in funding Australian Scientists or Clinicians to study the latest techniques of Spinal Cord injury in Australia to the intent that the knowledge and experience so gained shall be made available to the Australian public. #WeServe
