All,
OKXterra brought to our attention a man named Travis Tollett who in 2007 broke his neck racing up Pikes Peak, on an ATV, in the Hill Climb race and as a result became a quadriplegic.
Well it turns out that since becoming a quadriplegic he has been determined to be the first quadriplegic to tackle Pikes Peak. The only problem is funds.
If you can donate at least $5, please reply and we will figure out how we will distribute the money raised and send it to OKXterra to make the donation from Xterra Nation. If you want to make a personal donation, that is fine too.

>>Be sure to submit it as "Payment Owed" under the "Personal" tab to minimize loss of $ to fees.<<
Donations end Friday, June 22, 2012 at 5p PST
Who we are going through to make the donation:

I don't usually post stuff like this, but since it relates to offroad driving, I figured, why not. This link is about a good friend of mine, Travis Tollet http://invested.in/Pages/Projects/ShowProjectDetails.aspx?pid=2361 . Travis is a former pro quad racer that broke his neck racing the Pikes Peak challenger a few years ago. Since then, as a quadriplegic, he has been in the race as a car co-pilot for drivers, but this year he will be the first quadriplegic to race Pikes Peak as a driver!! The website is about donating $ to help his team out, but I'm not posting this to ask for money for him so much as I am to just get his story out there. He is a really sharp and strong-minded young man that has defied the odds every since his accident.
