Neurohope Extended physical rehabilitation and fitness center for people living with paralysis

Recovery from neurologic injury is incredibly slow. Even the most incomplete SCI may take months or years of rehabilitation.

- Insurance does not provide a continuum of care. The injured are often discharged from rehabilitation hospitals weeks after injury, during the critical time they need therapy the most.

- Outpatient visits are few and far between. Recovery requires regular, repetitive access to therapy in order to promote neuroplasticity (the nervous system's attempt to re-wire after injury). The limited number of outpatient therapy visits provided by insurance are insufficient.

- Disabled individuals living with paralysis in Indiana are deprived of the resources they need for health and well-being (to improve circulation, muscle and bone density, pressure sores, and more). NeuroHope vision will provide the resources to maximize recovery for the recently injured, and offer specialized wellness programs for those already living with paralysis.

Long-time NeuroHope patient Leslie Fuller was 1 of 20 subjects selected for NerveGen Pharmaceuticals clinical study of their NVG-291 drug, an injection aimed to help regenerate the nervous system after spinal cord injury.

We welcomed NerveGen Founder Dr Brad Lang, and Health Reporter Katharin Czink to the clinic to cover Leslie’s progress after her injection , and to learn about the future of NVG-291.

The drug works by blocking certain proteins that prevent nerve cells from growing and healing.

Clinical trials show that the many people with chronic spinal cord injury who received NVG-291 in the study, including Leslie , experienced motor and sensory improvements.

Leslie moved from ASIA C to an ASIA D during the trial and also reports improvements in thermoregulation & sense of smell!

There is still much to be learned about NVG-291, its efficacy, and when it may be available for public use.

WGN’s story coming soon, stay tuned!

Tomorrow is ! We continue the countdown today with Adam Cobb’s story: A vibrant Purdue University student, Adam embodies the power of perseverance. Meeting him today, you would never guess that months ago, he was fighting for his life.

On March 1, Adam was struck by a car while crossing the street near Purdue’s campus. He remembers nothing of the accident, but the consequences were devastating: a traumatic brain injury ( ), multiple intercapsular hemorrhages, and little hope.

After 20 days in a coma, Adam began a long road back—first at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI), where intensive therapy helped him walk again with minimal assistance. But Adam wasn’t content to stop there. Determined to push beyond expectations, he set his sights on returning to Purdue. Unfortunately, like many neurological injury survivors, his insurance-covered PT visits ran out just as he was making major progress.

Thanks to the donors and supporters that make our extended care programs possible, Adam found the bridge he needed to continue therapy at the DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center powered by NeuroHope during the critical months after his injury. Here, he’s been working tirelessly toward his goals. One milestone has been especially meaningful: relearning to dribble a basketball. “At first, I couldn’t dribble at all,” Adam said. “And now I can do over 100 dribbles!” For a right-handed player recovering from a left-side brain injury, this achievement reflects extraordinary dedication.

Today, Adam is back on campus part-time, and his work at NeuroHope continues!

Our work to serve hundreds of patients like Adam continues thanks to supporters that make our affordable, extended care programs possible. We hope you’ll consider making a donation tomorrow to help us reach our $5,000 Giving Tuesday Goal!

Two days until , the nation’s biggest fundraising day of the year - today we highlight Kera Gray’s story:

In November 2024, what seemed like a few days of illness turned into a life-or-death battle. Her organs began shutting down, and she was rushed to the hospital. Her heart, lungs, and kidneys were failing, so she was placed on life support and put into a medically induced coma. While machines kept her alive, her spinal cord lost blood flow, leading to a spinal infarction — a spinal stroke.

When she finally woke up, she couldn’t move or feel her legs. But she could still feel gratitude — for life, for a second chance, and for the strength she didn’t yet know she had.

After months in the hospital and inpatient rehab, Shirkera returned home determined to fight for more. Her insurance had run out, but her willpower hadn’t. That’s when she discovered the DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center Powered by NeuroHope — a place where hope meets hard work.

Since starting therapy in April, she’s made remarkable progress — from no movement at all to lifting, kicking, and regaining control in both legs. Every inch of progress has been earned through grit and grace.

Help us raise $5,000 this Giving Tuesday to support clients like Kera on their road to recovery!

After Black Friday - don’t forget about GIVING TUESDAY! FOUR DAYS AWAY! Over the next few days, we’ll be highlighting several inspiring journeys leading up to the big day!
Today we feature Patricia Harris, whose life changed in December 2023, when she fell off of a ladder at home .
At first, she didn’t realize the full extent of her injury. She wasn’t paralyzed — she just noticed it was difficult to walk.

By August 2024, her condition was getting worse, she underwent spinal surgery, and woke up paralyzed. Her recovery journey since then has been one of remarkable determination.

After a difficult hospital stay and a brief rehabilitation experience, she arrived at the DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center powered by NeuroHope in a power wheelchair unsure of what to expect - today she’s back on her feet gaining strength and recovery continues!
Read her full story , along with others, some similar journeys: https://www.neurohopewellness.org/client-spotlight-patricia-harris/
This we hope you’ll help us reach our $5000 goal to raise funds for patients like Patricia! Stay tuned!

MUCH to be Thankful for as holiday season begins! Thanks to .schmidt_ and , we celebrate our first calendar year in the beautiful DRIVEN NeuroRecovery Center!

Other Major funding from the Foundation, the Emily Hunt Foundation, United Way, Anthem, and our loyal supporters has grown our physical, occupational, and speech therapy programs and expanded our adaptive fitness programs to serve more than 300 people (the most ever in a given year), and helped the 700th patient in our history!

Additionally, a two year study with and Indiana CTSI found that participants in our programs are 50% less likely to be re-admitted to the hospital after injury, showcasing the impact our work has on the health and quality of life of people living with neurologic conditions.

It’s all possible thanks to the community that believes in our work to better the lives of those living with paralysis.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
