The human body can live for roughly 30 days without food. The human condition can survive for about 3 days without water, but no human alive can live for more than 30 seconds without hope.

What is even more significant is that Wings for Life are set up really well in all areas and that every single project offers true potential – potential for achieving the goal of finding a cure for spinal cord injury.
