Chris asked me to help him spread the word about this so I figured this forum could be one way of doing that. For those of you not familiar with Chris, he owns a company called Lucrum that makes products for the FJ, and he drives an FJ too! He has also just started another company to aid in making products geared towards disabled people and off-roading. After becoming paralyzed in a motorcycle accident a few years ago, Chris bought his FJ for the ease of being able to get his wheelchair in and out of....ever since then he has become a true Disabled Explorer!!
Chris has a group of friends who started a fundraiser to help him walk. The second annual fundraiser to raise money for therapy for him and other Spinal Cord Injured Victims will be on July 22, @ 6:30pm down in San Diego at the University Club. Obviously, some of us ldon't live in SD so we probably won't be able to attend, but you are of course welcome to donate money or product for the raffle.
Help Chris Walk is a not for profit 501-C3 organization. Any donations will be greatly appreciated; maybe sponsor someone to be at the event if you can't be there. Last year, over $30,000 was raised, and this kept Chris in therapy for the whole year! (It costs $2,500 a month for therapy at Project Walk.) Chris has been able to pedal a bike, lift his legs, stand at his wedding assisted, stay off medications, be active, and even maintain his own business, as a direct result of Project Walk.
