关于我们
Conquer Paralysis Now is a leading authority on spinal cord injury research and treatment. We're backed by an international coalition of doctors, research scientists and business leaders who share a singular goal: Finding a cure for paralysis. CPN started in 2000 as the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation. The founder's original intent was to fund research and provide advocacy and programming for SCI patients and their families. Though SSPF achieved many successes over the next decade, the ultimate goal remained elusive: a cure. In 2012, SSPF began investigating what it would take to turn the dream of finding a cure into a reality. It became clear that a paradigm shift was needed to reward and accelerate scientific progress. Research teams would need to share breakthroughs and failures openly. Collaboration between unlikely partners in fields like engineering, biology and business would be a critical part of the endeavor. Over the next two years, an international team of researchers meticulously defined the term cure and identified milestones for its achievement. A comprehensive plan to incentivize the world's leading scientists and entrepreneurs was also developed. With Sam Schmidt's blessing and continued involvement, Conquer Paralysis Now launched in 2014. Achieving functional recovery from chronic SCI will be a historic milestone in the advancement of human knowledge and empowerment. The dramatic moment when an individual previously diagnosed with irreversible paralysis takes his or her first steps will be celebrated around the world. It will be a testament to humanity's progress in the mastery of science and nature. We want to find a cure. We believe a cure is possible.

In honor of National Family Caregivers Month, we’re collaborating with Karli Wickens. Her husband, Robert, was paralyzed in a racing accident in 2018. Through her own journey, Karli has discovered self-care practices—small but powerful ways she finds joy and recharges while navigating her caregiving journey.?? At Conquer Paralysis Now, we’re here to support and uplift caregivers who play an essential role in helping loved ones regain independence. Join us as we honor the dedication of caregivers like Karli and encourage others to prioritize their own well-being. #ConquerParalysisNow #FamilyCaregiversMonth #CaregiverSupport #SelfCareForCaregivers

#TBT Big thanks to everyone who joined us for the Drive to Thrive event in Las Vegas! ???? The energy was incredible. A huge shoutout to Alexander Rossi and Nolan Siegel for sharing this special day with us and adding to the excitement on the track. Your support means the world to our mission!

October is World Mental Health Month, a time to recognize the importance of mental well-being, especially for those impacted by neurological conditions and spinal cord injuries. Individuals with spinal cord injuries are at a significantly higher risk of experiencing mental health challenges, such as depression and anxiety, due to the physical, emotional, and social impacts of their condition. Studies show that up to 30-40% of people with spinal cord injuries face mental health issues, highlighting the importance of holistic approaches that address both mental well-being and physical rehabilitation in recovery programs. At Conquer Paralysis Now, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with paralysis through cutting-edge research and transformative recovery programs—but we need your support to continue this vital work. ?? Your donation today can help change lives and foster hope. Join us in making a difference. ??
