The Morton Cure Paralysis Fund (MCPF) is committed to finding a cure for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury and other disorders of the central nervous system. MCPF is also a community of people that provides information and emotional support to those affected by paralysis.

In effect, the MCPF helps place new research products in the investigation pipeline.One of the organization's proudest accomplishments and operating principles is to maintain extremely low expenses, maximizing the contributors' gifts that reach research facilities. Throughout its history, the Morton Cure Paralysis Fund has kept total expenses less than 10 percent of gross revenues.
