THE MIAMI PROJECT / THE BUONICONTI FUND: In 1985, Barth A.
Green, M.D. and NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Nick Buoniconti
helped found The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis after
Nick's son, Marc, sustained a spinal cord injury during a
college football game. Today, The Miami Project, a Center of
Excellence at the University of Miami Miller School of
Medicine, is the world's most comprehensive spinal cord
injury research center and is housed in the Lois Pope LIFE
Center. The Miami Project's international team of more than
200 scientists, researchers and clinicians take innovative
approaches to the challenge of spinal cord injury. Committed
to finding a cure for paralysis resulting from spinal cord
injury and to seeing millions worldwide walk again, the
Buoniconti family established
The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis in 1992, a non-profit
organization devoted to assisting The Miami Project achieve
its national and international goals.
