About Us.

Our Mission and Vision.

The Colorado Paralysis Foundation was created in 2024 as a grassroots organization focused on promoting an improved quality of life for those affected by or living with paralysis in the state of Colorado.

Our Mission

To support individuals, their families, and care partners affected by or living with paralysis to promote access to direct support programs in the state of Colorado.

Our Vision

Advocate for individuals living with paralysis by forging a supportive community with increased access to trained care partners and critical resources to maximize their independence and a healthy, meaningful lifestyle.

“The struggle will be real and there will be days when ‘fairness’ doesn’t apply to you; there will be physical, mental and emotional difficulties that will push you to the brink. Yet, as you grow and develop into a totally different kind of human being, you will realize this is happening for a reason. You are strong enough to handle this, you will change others lives by your own journey and even though you didn’t ask for this, you will be able to leave this earth knowing that there was a reason why you were here. And that’s all you really wanted in the end anyway, is to make an impact, change the world and leave a legacy for those to follow in your tracks.”
