Everything about Wings for Life
-
Wings for Life is a non-profit foundation that funds research into spinal cord injury recovery worldwide. The organization was founded in 2004 by Heinz Kinigadner and Dietrich Mateschitz, co-founder of Red Bull, with one common goal: to find a cure for paralysis. Thanks to the support of Red Bull, 100% of all donations go directly to research.
-
100% of your donation goes directly to research on spinal cord injury recovery. Wings for Life funds scientific research and clinical studies worldwide that are carefully selected and supervised by experts. Together, they work towards one goal: finding a cure for spinal cord injury.
-
The Wings for Life World Run is a global (running) event where all proceeds go to research for spinal cord injury recovery. Instead of a traditional finish line, a Catcher Car starts after a certain time. Once it catches up to you, your race is over. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people around the world participate, from enthusiastic runners to walkers and wheelchair users, to raise money together for one goal: finding a cure for spinal cord injury.
-
There is currently no cure for spinal cord injury. However, a lot of progress has been made in recent years. Scientists around the world are working on new treatment methods, and various promising therapies are now being investigated in clinical studies. A solution is not yet available, but every discovery brings us one step closer to the moment when recovery becomes possible.
How do we contribute together?
