Spinal Cord Injury Association of Illinois (SCIA) is a non-profit health agency founded in 1979. The mission of SCIA is to serve as a comprehensive resource center for individuals who have been paralyzed due to trauma or conditions of the central nervous system, their families, health professionals, policy makers and others interested in spinal cord injury. Activities of SCIA address major areas such as prevention, medical care, rehabilitation, research and other aspects of living with a spinal cord injury.

SCIA seeks to fulfill this mission through a combination of direct services including information and referral, peer support, publications, a newsletter, educational programs for individuals with spinal cord injury, family members and health professionals. The Association also presents programs on prevention of injury.

RUN FOR A REASON!!

We are eagerly recruiting runners and wheelchair racers for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and we hope that you will participate with us on Oct 10, 2010. It would be great to have you registered to run or wheel for SCIA!

Since we became a marathon charity, our runners have raised more than $100,000! These contributions are helping to further develop and improve our resource center for people whose lives are affected by paralysis, to organize a peer counseling program, to address education program for healthcare providers working with individuals with spinal cord injury, and to help educate school students about simple precautionary measures that will reduce risk of brain and spinal cord injuries.
