"We spend most of our lives cutting down our ambitions because the world has told us to think small. Dreams express what your soul is telling you, so as crazy as your dream might seem—even to you—I don't care: You have to let that out."
-Eleni Gabre-Madhin

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
Will you support me?
