^^^^reddit link^^^^The Fessler FoundationThe Fessler Foundation funds research in the development of new technology and treatments for those affected by spinal cord injuries.
Scott Fessler is a good friend of mine. In 2006, he was involved in a motorcycle accident resulting in a C-5 injury to his spinal cord, paralyzing him from the shoulders down. Since then, he has dedicated his life to helping others with spinal cord injuries. Through his foundation, Scott has helped fund breakthrough technologies and treatments for individuals with spinal cord injuries.
I've recently convinced Scott to start accepting Bitcoin donations through the foundation's website:
