Why $62,000?
1. $100 x 620 miles = $62,000
2. Adaptive sports equipment is expensive and not typically covered by insurance.
3. One "entry" level adult handcycle can cost over $2,500.
4. A rugby chair can cost over $3,000
5. A prosthetic "running" leg starts at about $10,000.
6. Because disability isn't fair, doesn't discriminate, and we want to level the playing field
7. Because I like to set the bar high
