Thank you for visiting our site!  Kali’s Cure for Paralysis was founded in 2008 with the hopes and beliefs that, one day soon, there will be a cure for paralysis.  After suffering a paralyzing diving accident in 2006, Kali Pung spent time in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities across the country.  During her stays at several different facilities, Kali saw the best and worst that medicine had to offer.  She also realized that, despite a horrible situation, she was fortunate in many ways.  After realizing that not everyone had the same support system and opportunities that were available to her, Kali knew she wanted to do something to help others in similar situations.  Fortunately, friends and family jumped on board to help and Kali’s Cure was born.

It is the intent of Kali’s Cure to help fund spinal cord hospitals and rehabilitation centers as well as spinal cord research to better the lives of those living with paralysis and to ultimately be part of the cure.  Although doctors had given the Pung family little hope, Kali has seen some improvement that doctors said would never be possible.  Although Kali remains paralyzed from the neck down, this progress reaffirms her belief that there will one day be a cure and acts as a catalyst to energize the members of Kali’s Cure to work towards that goal!

We have all met or know of someone who has suffered a spinal cord injury.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could help better the life of someone living with paralysis?  Even better, wouldn’t it make you proud to say, sometime in the future, that you helped find a cure for paralysis?  Kali’s Cure is doing its part by creating and hosting a variety of fundraisers and events to raise money for worthy causes.  Through the help of many volunteers and countless donors, Kali’s Cure has been able to operate with minimal overhead costs, allowing almost all money raised to go directly to the cause.

To learn more about paralysis, Kali’s story, and how you can help, please explore the rest of our site!  We have many exciting fundraisers and opportunities for everyone to get involved and spread the word.

Dear Friends of Kali’s Cure,

Thank you for supporting the Kali’s Cure Jaguar Raffle!  We appreciate your support!  There has been a change of plans regarding the raffle.  The drawing will now take place on Friday March 12, 2010 instead of this December.  All other information regarding the raffle will stay the same and all purchased tickets are still valid. For those that are interested, tickets are still available.

I hope this change of date will not be an inconvenience to anyone.  Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have not been able to participate in the months leading up to the drawing.  I have undergone surgery and, although I am doing ok, recovery has taken longer than I had expected.  This has also taken my family’s and my energy and primary focus away from Kali’s Cure.  It had been my hope to attend the drawing and by postponing, I hope to be there in March!

I know most of you purchased tickets to support Kali’s Cure and to have the opportunity to win a Jaguar convertible and I want to make sure that you have this chance.  The Jaguar is a beautiful and most generous donation.  I hope we are all able to maximize this donation and watch someone drive away in their new convertible!

I apologize for any difficulties but wish all of you the best of luck on our new drawing date.  If you have any questions, please contact me at kali@kaliscure.org.  I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful Holiday Season.

On Behalf of Kali’s Cure,
Kali Pung
