Currently in the United States, there are around 3.3 million wheelchair users. In addition, around 10 million people use walking aids, such as a cane or walker.
Recently, HealthNorth has been involved with the creation of a film that aims to raise millions for spinal cord injury research. The result, is a film about Gabe Rodreick, a 20-year-old who was paralyzed in a diving accident four years ago and has since been affected by a spinal cord injury. The film features Chris Kluwe, the Minnesota Vikings punter, as he spends a day in a wheelchair to help raise awareness about the obstacles that those in wheelchairs deal with on a day-to-day basis.
The film priemers on Thursday, January 24 following Senator Jeff Hayden proposal to the legistlature to spend $4 million a year to promote spinal cord research.
