<div>My name is Jeffrey Fisher. On November 5, 2025, I went in for spinal fusion surgery at KECK hospital USC Los Angeles, California. I had previously fused C5, C6, and C7, and this surgery was meant to fuse C4, C5, and C6. During the procedure, C3 also had to be fused. Complications occurred, and I lost all sensation—paralyzed from the injury. This is affecting every part of my life: I cannot move or feel my body, and my independence is gone. This isn’t science fiction. We need urgent research to find real solutions for paralysis.

</div>
<div>UPDATE! JEFFREY FISHER: PARALYZED
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — UPDATE
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeffrey Michael Fisher Provides Detailed Update After Procedure-Related Paralysis; Announces Immediate Logistics, Treatment Path, and Support Needs
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bakersfield, CA — November 15, 2025 — Following the initial announcement, Jeffrey Michael Fisher issues a detailed update about the medical event that resulted in paralysis, the immediate logistics now underway, and the concrete steps being taken to pursue treatment, research access, and long-term care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What happened
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the day of a routine medical procedure fusing together C4 C5 and C6, previously C5 C6 and C7 were fused during the procedure C3 as well needed to be fused as a result of this, complications occurred that resulted in spinal cord injury and loss of motor function. Mr. Fisher is under the care of his treating physicians and specialty consultants. Medical records and procedure summaries have been secured and are being reviewed by his care team and independent specialists to define the cause, the precise neurologic level and extent of injury, and the timelines for decision points about experimental therapies and rehabilitation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Current medical status and medical-clearance logistics
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Mr. Fisher is medically stable and receiving ongoing inpatient care and monitoring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Specialty consultations (neurology, neurosurgery, spinal rehabilitation medicine, pain management, and physiatry) are scheduled and underway.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Before any experimental treatment, protocol eligibility and medical clearances are required: imaging review (MRI/CT), electrophysiology testing, infectious disease screening, and comorbidity clearance. These tests are being prioritized.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Insurance authorization and medical-necessity documentation are being prepared for each proposed intervention; appeals and expedited reviews will be pursued where needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Treatment pathway and research access
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Priority is enrollment in relevant clinical trials and experimental programs that could be appropriate for Mr. Fisher’s neurologic profile. The team is pursuing open trials, compassionate-use programs, and established centers of excellence for spinal cord injury.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Parallel standard-of-care rehab (early mobilization, respiratory and pressure-injury prevention, spasticity/pain management, and assistive-device planning) will continue immediately.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Any investigational therapy will proceed only after meeting trial inclusion criteria, obtaining informed consent, IRB/ethics approvals where required, and securing treating-physician sign-offs and insurer discussions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Home accessibility modifications (ramp, widened doors, master-level bathroom conversion, lift systems) are being scoped with contractors who specialize in accessible conversions; measurements and bids are being collected for immediate work once medically cleared.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How the public, partners, and professionals can help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Research institutions and clinical trial coordinators: contact the listed campaign/coordination email to share trial protocols, inclusion criteria, and availability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Medical suppliers and contractors: expedited quotes and availability for equipment and home-mod work are requested.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Donors and supporters: contributions are being directed to a verified fundraising platform to cover immediate medical needs, adaptive equipment, travel for specialty care, and home modifications.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations Needed
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Medical equipment (power wheelchair, hospital bed, pressure-relief mattress, Hoyer lift, transfer aids)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Rehabilitation equipment (standing frame, therapy tools, adaptive devices)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Home-accessibility construction materials and labor (ramps, widened doors, roll-in shower, lift systems)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Transportation support (ADA-accessible vehicle, medical transport costs, fuel assistance)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Medical travel expenses (hotels, flights, out-of-area clinical trial travel)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Caregiver support (training costs, caregiver hours, backup care coverage)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>Jeffrey Michael Fisher Faces Life-Altering Paralysis; Launches Initiative to Advance Spinal Cord Research
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bakersfield, CA — November 14, 2025 — Jeffrey Michael Fisher, former professional motocross athlete and accomplished engineer, has become paralyzed following a routine medical procedure. Fisher, who has spent decades excelling in competitive sports and hands-on mechanical work, now faces a permanent life change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In response, Fisher is launching an urgent initiative to fund advanced research and experimental treatments for spinal cord injuries. His goal is to accelerate access to cutting-edge therapies, foster innovation in paralysis recovery, and support scientific breakthroughs that could benefit countless others facing similar life-altering conditions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I refuse to accept paralysis as the final chapter,” Fisher said. “This is about taking immediate, decisive action to push the boundaries of what’s possible in spinal cord recovery.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fisher is actively seeking partnerships with research institutions, biotech companies, and medical innovators to explore all viable treatment avenues, including experimental and next-generation therapies. A dedicated fundraising platform has been established to support this initiative and ensure that every available resource is mobilized for research and treatment.
