Domenico’s Spinal Cord Injury Research Campaign

Dear Family & Friends,

As many of you know, on March 29th 2021, I suffered a ski accident in Switzerland, which led to two cervical bone fractures with a serious Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) compromise that required surgery. I had surgery on April 1st 2021, and from there the recovery process has been more than successful!

Luckily, this accident did not turn out to be a tragedy. I am doing very well and I am finally back to living my normal lifestyle again… back to working hard, running kilometres, kilometres and more kilometres, and enjoying life at its fullest!

During my recovery, I was constantly thinking about how to give back for this second lease on life God has given me. During my research, I found the Walkabout Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides wheelchairs and rehabilitation to people in need in the developing world and funds research to find a cure for paralysis.

I have decided to work with them in raising awareness on this topic and raising funds for SCI research. As I said, I was extremely lucky, however, many people aren’t so lucky and their futures are drastically changed when they have a Spinal Cord Injury.

Please help us in this journey with a donation. Anything helps! Even one dollar, euro or pound! Click the donate button above to help find a cure for paralysis today! Let’s combine forces and help advance the field of SCI research.

If you are interested in discussing the Walkabout Foundation and my case, please contact me at domenicogonzalezrossi@hotmail.com.

Thank you and my best wishes,

Domenico

50 Mile Challenge 🏃‍♂️

From May-August 2021 I will be donating $1 per mile I run to the Walkabout Foundation. My goal is to raise enough money to provide someone in need with a wheelchair and to raise money for Spinal Cord Injury research so that people with disabilities can have the opportunity to stand tall one day. I also hope to motivate people to exercise for something more than just their own personal fitness.

I invite all of you to join me on my runs and to make a contribution. I will be posting my activites on Strava and my Instagram stories (@colinmulligann). I hope to bring a lot of support along with me! Let’s do this 🏃‍♂️
