Dear Family, Friends, & Fans,
It has been almost 11 years since my life changed when I sustained my Spinal Cord Injury. I have spent one decade sitting down and rolling around and I do not plan on spending another one like that. Studies, tests, and advancements in medicine are moving along very quickly and a treatment for Spinal Cord Injuries will be developed in the next few years. I am prepared and signed up for that day, but must continue to keep my body in shape and in good condition for when that day comes. Over the past 10 years I have been stretching and working out regularly. These activities are good but there is something that I can add to them to make them great. I can stand! Over the past few years I have been stood up several times and I must say it feels great! With today's technology they make power wheelchairs that stand you up. Standing is so beneficial to the human body, it helps regulate your blood pressure, stretches your limbs, relieves pressure off your body parts, strengthens your bones, fires signals to your brain, and so much more. I have used the same wheelchair for 10 years and I am ready for a change. Not only will this chair be great for my body and prepare me for SCI treatment, but I will no longer be the short one in the crowd all the time ;) Please help me in any way by sponsoring me and making a donation, purchasing my new film "Rolling for a Decade" or by please doing both.
Thank you and I hope to raise enough money to Stand Again in 2010.
