Research for Cure is a nonprofit tax exempt organization whose mission is to raise funds for scientific research to cure neurological diseases. All net monies raised at this time benefit the Reeve-Irvine Research Center. The center named after Christopher Reeve and Joan Irvine is part of the University of California, Irvine. The Reeve-Irvine Research Center is on the forefront of the latest in cures for spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and many of other neurological conditions.
The Research for Cure Team is staffed with a growing number of volunteers. A majority of the volunteers are wheelchair warriors and their family and friends. Research for Cure does not pay salaries or rent space everyone works out of their homes. Our expenses are limited to the cost of putting on our fundraising events. We raise funds by holding golf tournaments, dinner/dance and bringing a speaker from the Reeve-Irvine Research Center to the events. Research for Cure brings knowledge not just to the injured but to the whole family and gives hope to find cures to lessen the health risks we all endure from our injuries. Research for Cure has raised over 300,000 dollars for the Reeve-Irvine Research Center in the past seven years please check out our website to see when clinical trials will be beginning. It really is a “Rat Race!” http://www.researchforcure.org/index.htm
