A Successful Event Earns the Chapter $20,000

121 guests came to the Hartford Marriott on January 30th to support the National Spinal Cord Injury Association, Connecticut Chapter. Through ticket sales, silent and live auction, the Chapter raised close to $20,000.

Benefits of Eating Right

 "People with spinal cord injuries have unique nutrition issues," said Vickeri Barton, associate director of nutrition at Harborview Medical Center. "Partly this is due to changes in body composition and metabolism, partly to changes in activity level, and partly to the barriers to preparing meals, shopping, and so on." All these factors may make it harder to maintain good nutrition after SCI.
