Footnotes

Wings for Life was founded in 2004 by Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz and the two-time motocross world champion Heinz Kinigadner after Heinz's son Hannes suffered a spinal cord injury during a motocross race for charity. Since then the organisation has expanded and is now registered in four countries - Austria, Germany, USA and UK.

Wings for Life fund world class scientific research and clinical trials around the globe aimed at finding a cure for spinal cord injury. Their research focuses on how to minimise damage, stimulate repair and restore function after an injury to the spinal cord has been sustained. Scientists agree: injured neurons can regenerate. Wings for Life therefore believe that spinal cord injury will be curable one day.
