About Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis
The Buoniconti Fund raises funds and awareness for The Miami Project. In 1985, Barth A. Green, M.D., world-renowned neurosurgeon, and Nick Buoniconti, NFL Hall of Fame linebacker, founded The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis after Nick’s son, Marc, sustained a spinal cord injury during a college football game. The Miami Project, a Center of Excellence at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, is a leading global research center. The Miami Project is conducting cuttingedge discovery, translational and clinical investigations in traumatic spinal cord and brain injury, peripheral nerve injury and neurological diseases and disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, and stroke.
