Thankful for You
Matthew Rodreick
As those of us here in the U.S. pause this week to observe our Thanksgiving holiday, we at U2FP would like to take a moment to express our gratitude to all of you. So many of you have joined or deepened your engagement with our work this year.
In the face of federal budget cuts, you have joined us in raising our collective voice to advocate for reinstating and expanding investments in SCI translational research. You have called and emailed legislators asking that they preserve our state funding programs (successfully in MN!) and expand those initiatives into new states (Wisconsin). You have continued to sign up as consultants in SCI research labs, listened and responded to our podcast episodes in increasing numbers and helped make this year’s Team U2FP races the best and most accessible in our history.
You donate your time, your resources, and your expertise to this growing community of advocates. Your voice is a testament to the powerful things we can do when we work together. Let’s keep fighting, laughing and learning as we forge new strategies towards functional recovery.
For all this and so much more, we at U2FP want to say Thank You!
With Gratitude,
