Our Mission

Life Rolls On, a division of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, is dedicated to improving the quality of life for young people affected by spinal cord injury and utilizes action sports as a platform to inspire infinite possibilities despite paralysis. 

Life Rolls On: Instilling in people that life with SCI, indeed, rolls on.

Areas of Focus

1. They Will Surf Again (TWSA) - Our flagship program, TWSA is an adaptive surfing program for those with spinal cord injury and a life-changing volunteer experience for all. It's not all about the surfing, it's about proving that anything is possible. Recently LRO has added a They Will Ski Again and They Will Skate Again program! Interesting, show me more

2. Injury Outreach and Being A Resource - Sadly, we are regularly contacted by individuals who have had family members and friends sustain a spinal cord injury. During this traumatic and overwhelming time, Life Rolls On can be a resource. LRO feels that early outreach and communication immediately post injury can have a positive and meaningful impact on all those affected by the injury. Here is an example, meet Nathan

3. Education, Motivation and Awareness - Shifting paradigms in the general public, and amongst those with spinal cord injury, that life with a spinal cord injury, does indeed "Roll On." A message of overcoming obstacles in the face of extreme adversity. I'm intriqued, how do I learn more?
