The
Todd Crawford Foundation was started in August of 2006 with the purpose
of raising money for spinal cord injury (SCI) research. I was
injured
in August of 2002. In the four years between my injury and the
creation of the Foundation I received a tremendous amount of support
from
my family and friends. Much of the support came in the form of
money raised through various fund raisers. I have been able to
accomplish
many things since then because of this support. I
am extremely grateful for this. Now I want to use the momentum of
this support and direct it
towards research on SCI. This research is a immensely important to me and millions of others around the world.

Almost every patient that suffers from a spinal cord injury suffers from pain. With each person, the pain varies in intensity, frequency and duration of episodes, and the type of pain experienced.
We, the Translational Pain Research Group at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Anesthesia, are striving to bring laboratory research into a safe and effective clinical research setting. Although we are located in Boston, our studies reimburse for travel to and from our site.

The first physical therapist arrived in Kentucky in 1935. Within the next few years Mary McDonnell was joined by 15 of her colleagues. They came to fight the crippling effects of polio. They touched the lives of World War II veterans whose bodies were mangled and broken. In 1947, feeling the need to unite and expand their knowledge, they founded the Kentucky Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association. These pioneers could only dream their association, which started with 16 members, would grow to serve over 1,000.
