Today they will never walk again. Neil Sachse lives for the day that people with spinal cord injury will walk again. He established the Neil Sachse Foundation as a first step to curing spinal cord injury. Thanks to vital community support, we have established the Neil Sachse Foundation Spinal Cord Injury Research Centre, to provide a dedicated laboratory for researchers and students. As an integral part of the University of Adelaide's Neuroscience Research Insitute, the Centre will also become an international centre-of-excellence aimed at making a significant difference to the lives of people who suffer a spinal cord injury. Research will focus on protection of nerves in the spinal cord immediately following damage caused by accidents or falls (neuroprotection) and to nerve regrowth (reconnection). Your support will help these people take their first step to a better quality of life.

Our population of older people is on the rise, and we are living longer than ever before. Our health and wellbeing is the key to ageing well and keeping us active within our communities. We might have friends, relatives or be caring for people who are starting to feel the effects of mature age. Chronic pain, dementia, stroke, falls and mental health can have a major impact on quality of life. The IRT Research Foundation supports research that can positively influence the ageing experience. The findings from the research we have funded can be shared with the community, other researchers, policy makers, carers, health professionals and service providers to make an impact. Research has the ability to throw light on important issues like disability, poverty, social exclusion, nutrition, mental health and risk factors in dementia. Research is essential to help policy makers and organisations representing older people to plan better and more efficient services. Research helps older people to lead full and meaningful lives and participate in their communities, living independently with dignity and the ability to make their own decisions. When you donate to the IRT Research Foundation you are supporting positive ageing – for the people you care for, your friends, family and future generations. Your donation is backed by the funds of the IRT Group, so you can ensure 100% of your donation will go directly to fund important research. Your donations are completely tax deductible and you will receive a tax invoice immediately via e-mail upon completing your donation. IRT Research Foundation: a division of the IRT Group.
