OUR STORY
Dance For Paralysis was founded by Thomas Smith at a concert in April 2011. While attending this show, Thomas was enjoying himself but realized while being the so-called “elephant in the room” he could not dance like his fellow concertgoers. At that moment, Dance For Paralysis was born. Thomas and Team Cure Paralysis are committed to raising money by working with different elements of the entertainment industry to help those living with paralysis. All members would like to thank you for your support and together, we will find a CURE for paralysis!
OUR MISSION
Team Cure Paralysis is committed to providing state of the art equipment and resources necessary to enhance the mobility and access to the daily world of all persons, regardless of the extent of individual needs. Our team is also committed to the integrity, dedication, responsibilities, and empathy that guarantee all persons the maximum mobility during their lifetime. No person should ever be denied maximum mobility because of financial status and that is what our members’ honor and stand for.
OUR GOALS
- Team Cure Paralysis sees music as a motivator that can help those with paralysis enjoy life, as well as continue to do therapy until a cure is found.
- Because music is a universal language we want to educate the public about the paralysis community by using concerts and shows as the primary vehicle to connect with our audience.
- In addition to raising awareness, we raise funds to financially assist the paralysis community in finding a cure for paralysis.
- And when we find a cure for paralysis, which we will, we want to have the entire paralysis community come join us for the dance of a lifetime!
