Web-a-thon

For the very first time we will be hosting the BACKBONES Web-a-thon, via Google Hangouts. For 16 hours straight a BACKBONES crew will be Live broadcast on Google Hangout with special guests throughout the day joining us to talk about spinal cord injury (SCI) related stuff, their organizations, projects, research or just to tell us about their latest adventure! During this time we will also be asking our viewers and their friends and supporters to make a donation in support of our work and to help us reach our September goal of $15,000.
