Hrafnhildur Thoroddsen

OUR STORY AND HOPE

The foundation's goal is to raise awareness about the urgent need to find a cure for spinal cord injuries

It was founded in 2007 by Auður Guðjónsdóttir, a surgical nurse, after her daughter, Hrafnhildur Thoroddsen, sustained a spinal cord injury in an accident.
