As you may know, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) is federally funded through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The House and Senate Appropriations Committees are currently negotiating next year’s budget, and there is a chance programs will be cut.
While we will continue to closely monitor the situation, we need your help. If you live in the state of one of the Members of Congress listed below, please call TODAY to urge their support for the highest possible funding level for the CDC Paralysis Activities in partnership with the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
It is very important that all the decision makers hear from their constituents this week and next.
