About Back Up
Every eight hours, someon's life is changed forever.
At Back Up we know a spinal cord injury can be devastating, but we believe that it shouldn't prevent anyone from getting the most out of life.
Back Up is for everyone affected by spinal cord injury, regardless of age, level of injury, or background. We are here for family members too.
Our services include mentoring, wheelchair skills training and activity courses as well as support in getting back to work or school after an injury.
