Pikes Peak Challenge Driver

[OKXterra]

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.

Mike,
Thanks for posting this. It is truly inspiring how some folks overcome their disabilities after a tragic accident and get back out there and do what they loved to do.

I'll be sure to spread the word about this guy.
