Seven Continents Attempt sponsored in part by: Michigan Runner & The Running Network Gazelle Sports
Find me on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/donkern1 Give the gift of Mobility! Running a marathon every month is a big challenge. However, it's nothing compared to the challenge that faces many who just want to go from their living room to their mailbox. That's one reason I've teamed up with Alternatives in Motion. Alternatives in Motion is a nonprofit 501 (C)(3) organization in Grand Rapids, MI whose mission is to provide wheelchairs for individuals with no health insurance or other financial means. In 1995 Johnnie Tuitel (pronounced "Title") founded Alternatives in Motion after he was unable to get a wheelchair of his own. The staff and board of directors at Alternatives in Motion firmly believes that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in society and not be hindered by mobility issues. Through fundraising efforts and private donations, Alternatives in Motion provides new and used made-to-order wheelchairs and other mobility devices to people who need them. Since 1995 Alternatives in Motion has helped hundreds of people with their unmet mobility needs in the Midwest and all over the country. To learn more about Alternatives in Motion check it out at: www.alternativesinmotion.org. Then join me in helping them to help others by making a tax deductible donation today. All the money goes directly to them.
