Where else did you expect me to be?

...a.k.a... the Qualcomm Million Dollar Challenge...
.....Raising $62,000 for the Challenged Athletes Foundation....
.....Becuase CAF is a GREAT Organization.....

1. Access for Athletes
2. Catch a Rising Star
3. Operation Rebound
4. Emmanuel Fund
5. Reach High
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?
