Help Cindy raise money

Did you know? Spinal cord injury can result from traumatic injury, disease or bacterial infections that causes cysts or tumour growth on the spinal cord , or congenital injury like spina bifida.

Over 12,000 people in British Columbia live with spinal cord injuries that affect every aspect of their lives.

Approximately 500 new SCI cases every year in British Columbia.

The estimated lifetime cost of living with an SCI in BC is $1.6 – 3 million.

I recently did my Therapeutic Recreation practicum with SCI BC. During my practicum, I helped at their women's retreat in Naramata. This retreat had participants from as far away as Fort St. John, Prince George, and Victoria. It was a great way to destress, try some new activities, explore the area, and meet new friends. SCI BC plays a vital role in the lives of people living with spinal cord injury. Through information sharing, scholarships, partner organization referrals, and peer support,  SCI BC helps keep people connected all over BC.
