September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month. 💙 September is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month. 💙

This month, we honor those living with spinal cord injuries and paralysis, recognize the families and caregivers alongside them, and celebrate the researchers working every day to advance recovery and improve lives.

At The Miami Project, our clinicians are advancing research across neural repair and regeneration, neuromodulation, rehabilitation, brain-computer interfaces and other emerging approaches—with research moving from discovery toward clinical application. 

For more than four decades, our mission has remained clear: to develop better treatments and, ultimately, find a cure for paralysis resulting from spinal cord injury. Throughout #SCIAwarenessMonth, we’ll continue sharing the people, research and progress that drive our work forward.

Because paralysis does not discriminate—and we won’t stop working toward a cure.

Happy Birthday to the one and only Gloria Estefan! Happy Birthday to the one and only Gloria Estefan! 🎂✨

Today, we’re celebrating Gloria—not only for her extraordinary talent, strength, and enduring impact, but also for the warmth, compassion, and dedication she shares with our community.

For many years, Gloria has been at the heart of our Great Sports Legends Dinner, graciously serving as our Mistress of Ceremonies and helping us honor the remarkable athletes, supporters, and champions who make this evening so special.

After suffering a serious back injury in 1990, Gloria knows firsthand how deeply a spinal cord injury can affect individuals and families. That experience has helped inspire her heartfelt commitment to The Buoniconti Fund and The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis and to advancing the search for a cure.

We’re incredibly grateful for Gloria’s longtime friendship, advocacy, and continued support—and we’re proud to celebrate her today.

Join us in wishing our wonderful @gloriaestefan a very happy birthday! 💙🎉
