Symmetrix Software, Inc. Supports the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation
June 28, 2021, Pewaukee, WI – Symmetrix Software, Inc was pleased to support the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation by being an all-inclusive sponsor and participating in their annual golf outing earlier this month. The goal of the golf outing is to raise money and awareness for those living with paralysis. Over the past 20 years, The BRPF has raised close to $5.8 million at this event.
“When the opportunity came about to be a sponsor of this event, we didn’t think twice,” says Colin Luckmann, Managing Partner at Symmetrix. “One of our former employees, and still great friend, lives with the challenges of a spinal cord injury, and knowing that the research funded by the BRPF could help him, as well as others around the world is something we are truly grateful for.”
“We’re equally proud that Symmetrix employee and leader, Lori Bruss, sits on the board of directors for this foundation and that we can continue to support her efforts to advance it,” Luckmann continued, “And personally hearing Bryon’s passion and inspiration to others is something that is truly humbling. Knowing we are helping take the burden off of someone living with a spinal injury or helping researchers come closer to finding a cure is what this is all about.”
After an accident in 1998 left Bryon Riesch paralyzed from the chest down, his loved ones put together a fundraiser to help him through the difficult transition, which then transitioned into a full-fledged foundation in 2001 to help others who, like Bryon, are faced with the difficult situation of paralysis.
The Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation’s (BRPF) goal is to find a cure for paralysis through funding the latest in medical research and to provide assistance to those that suffer from neurological disorders. This research not only benefits spinal cord injuries but also stroke victims, people diagnosed with ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders.
The BRPF works within the paralysis community providing charitable grants to help make life easier for people suffering from paralysis. Equally important, the BRPF provides scholarships to individuals suffering from paralysis or families with a parent dealing with a neurological disorder.
