Ride request
I received this request, I'm to far away can someone help him out?
Bill M. is 72 years old and lives in Port Charlotte, FL. He lights up when he sees a motorcycle. The last time one sped past him he said, βNow THAT is something I've always wanted to do...ride in the sidecar of a motorcycle.β
As a young teenager, Bill was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. He recalls helping his neighbors with their lawns during the summer and shoveling their sidewalks during the winter. He worked in a factory until he was no longer able. By the time he was 30, his health had deteriorated dramatically and his independence became very limited. He went from being an able-bodied young man to wheelchair bound. He is paralyzed from the chest down.
Wish of a Lifetime is a non-profit organization based out of Denver, CO. Our mission is to grant life-enriching wishes for seniors and to help change the way people view aging. This wish has been especially difficult because of Billβs mobility issues. Because he would need a lift to get into the sidecar, he will probably only be able to do this at his assisted living community in Port Charlotte. Bill has nothing in life to enjoy. This would mean the world to him.
Please include all of my contact info on your post and let me know who again this is going out to so I donβt reach out to the same person twice. Thanks for the help.
Foster respect and appreciation for senior citizens by helping us grant life-enriching Wishes. http://bit.ly/Ruzs3H

Thank you very much, Jeremy Garver! What a wonderful thing! I pray all the best for Bill and that he can get his ride and much more.
I know the sidecar community is a very special crowd and of course many of us have turned to this mode of motorcycling due to our own disabilities. I'd say therefore we may be more able than the average person to identify with this request and I'm confident folks will step forward.
Thanks again for all you do and thanks to all those involved in 'Wish of A Lifetime', God bless your kind hearts.
I posted this to ADV rider where we have several customers in FL that are likley to be able to help.
