The fundraiser is a tribute to Dr Nick Davey, neuroscientist and a spinal injuries researcher of international repute, who was tragically killed in a car crash in February of this year.

He was moved by the fact that people go from being healthy independent adults to suddenly being completely paralysed and disabled. His research was focused on developing a novel therapy to help recovery from spinal cord injury. He is well known for his efforts towards making repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation a potential therapeutic tool for treating spinal cord injury.
