Perry Cross was only 19 when, in the course of a rugby tackle, the unthinkable happened.
“At 19, you think you’re bullet-proof and I was just cruising through life. When I got injured it was that wow factor of just how profound injury is: it’s like switching off the lights when you get injured. You lose that feeling, that movement, instantly.
“When I got injured I lay there on the ground, I looked up at the sky, and I knew straight away what had happened. You don’t have to be a neurologist to understand that when you break your neck you’ve done something pretty bad.
“So I just lay there and looked up at the sky and thought to myself, oh my god, my life has just changed forever.”

The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation operates with one simple but very important mission: to find a cure for paralysis.
The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation funds key medical research that aims, through nerve regeneration, to find a cure for spinal injuries.
The discovery of a cure is something that Perry Cross firmly believes will happen. It’s just a matter of when.
