On Tuesday, June 15th I will be hosting a fundraiser for my 2010 Camp Discovery program. This camp is a two-and-a-half day event for women, who are wheelchair users, to learn fitness activities, gain support from others and enjoy a little pampering. I held the camp last year to rave reviews and it will be back again this summer, serving 15 women and will be jointly sponsored by the Challenged Athletes Foundation and Craig Hospital. In addition, I have added a triathlon camp this year (also for women in wheelchairs), which will serve another eight participants. Please help me raise the funds to make these events possible.
In addition, on the 15th, I will also launch my new book—Cycle of Hope: A Journey from Paralysis to Possibility. It chronicles my experiences from bike racer, to injury and return to sports as a physically challenged athlete. It will be available on my website and Amazon.com, but you will have the opportunity to purchase a signed copy at the event!
