ABOUT WINGS FOR LIFE EVERY 8 HOURS IN THE UK SOMEBODY S LIFE WILL CHANGE BECAUSE OF A SPINAL CORD INJURY. Wings for Life is dedicated to finding a cure for spinal cord injury. We fund world class scientific research and clinical trials around the globe aimed at finding a cure for spinal cord injury. Our research focuses on how to minimise damage, stimulate repair and restore function after an injury to the spinal cord has been sustained. SPINAL CORD INJURY IS MORE THAN JUST BEING UNABLE TO WALK IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE, ANY AGE, ANY TIME. Since 2004, we have funded 110 international research projects. The driving forces behind Wings for Life are the two-time motocross world champion, Heinz Kinigadner and the founder of Red Bull, Dietrich Mateschitz. After Kinigadner s son suffered tragic accident leaving him tetraplegic, Kinigadner and Mateschitz soon realised that research into spinal cord injury was underfunded. This realisation prompted them to set up Wings for Life in 2004. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY SPINAL CORD INJURY AROUND THE WORLD. Red Bull cover all administration costs; so 100% of donations go straight to Wings for Life s research projects. The question is not if a cure will be found, but when. SCIENTISTS AGREE: INJURED NEURONS CAN REGENERATE. SPINAL CORD INJURY WILL BE CURABLE ONE DAY. 52% ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS; 24% FALLS; 15% OTHER (ASSAULTS, SHOOTINGS); 6% SPORTS; 3% EXTREAME SPORTS.

VOICES OF FORMER CHALLENGERS The Wings for Life relay [one of Cotswold s fundraising activities] has been one of our most exciting challenges, and the staff members taking part have excelled themselves. We ve been overwhelmed by the support we have received, and have raised a fantastic amount of money for Wings for Life.

On meeting Sean Rose, Wings for Life Ambassador, we were truly inspired to get involved and make a difference. Corina Maeting, Rexam PLC [We] are hugely proud to have the opportunity to help fundraise for this wonderful charity. It has been very humbling to meet some of the Ambassadors and people involved.
