Jimmy's Rides for a Cure!

Hello,

As someone who’s spent the last 12-plus years in a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury from a car accident, I am looking to raise funds for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. 100% of the donations will go directly to supporting the foundation.

I am an avid competitor in the NWBA (National Wheelchair Basketball Association), it’s now officially the off-season so I will be hand cycling to stay in shape, build endurance, and work on my cardio. I figure why not set up a pledge to help a great cause, and also use it as a motivator to stay committed to the training and rack up the miles!

To give you an idea of what you’re pledging to, the plan is to do 15 rides from May 7 to June 9 (combination of indoor and outdoor), and ride 10-20 miles per ride. This will put me in the 175-250 mile range. You can either make a pledge per mile, or a flat fee donation.

Paralysis is dramatically more widespread than previously thought. Approximately 1.7 percent of the U.S. population reported they were living with some form of paralysis; defined by the study as a central nervous system disorder resulting in difficulty or inability to move the upper or lower extremities. That’s almost 1 in 50 Americans!

Please help me make this goal a reality by pledging today. If you cannot pledge, I’m kindly asking that you please take a few minutes of your time to spread the word to your contacts and/or social media. If you happen to have contacts in news/media and can help me get in touch with them, please send me a message at jimmy058910@gmail.com.

Additionally, I’d love to reward the top donors with some swag, gift cards, etc. If you would like to donate something other than money to the cause, please contact me at jimmy058910@gmail.com.
