There a young man from Britain here was is in a wheelchair due to a motor bike accident he had 4 years ago.
He is organizing a fundraiser called "Rolling Back Home" where he will travel from Bangladesh back to Britain all by himself. He will take trains, buses and his own manpower. Needless to say, things here aren't as wheelchair accessible as they are in North America, so it will be a challenge.
I've seen this guy hold onto the back of a rickshaw and go barrelling down the streets - he's fearless!!!
All of the money raised goes to supporting the work done here at CRP - which is in itself amazing and inspiring. They give care to spinal cord patients, children with cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism, stroke patients, head trauma patients and much more. They give medical care, life skills training, vocational training and education to special needs children.
Check out Peter's webpage and donate to this extremely worthy cause if the spirit moves you!
