How This Charity Supports the Community
Guns Out Spinal Foundation was established following a life-changing spinal injury sustained by Richard Tombs, a former Australian rugby player. After suffering a severe neck injury resulting in a C4 incomplete spinal cord injury and spasticity, Tombs faced immense physical challenges but remained determined to overcome them. Inspired by his journey and the support he received from the community, he founded the Foundation to raise awareness, provide support, and fund research related to spinal cord injuries and muscle spasticity.
