My personal message:

Here is an update on the marathon! Check out my page: www.mswheelchairwi.org/NYCMarathon.html

Hand biking in the New York Marathon on Nov. 2, 2008, is a an adventure and  a great opportunity for me to compete as a disabled spinal cord injury paraplegic. I am paralyzed from the breast bone down. I cannot bear weight at all. This will be my first airplane trip since my accident in Jan 2001.  I have had fun training with my husband, Bob, and my Achilles friends.

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page.
I am excited about hand biking in the marathon with my Achilles buddies. Check us out on our Madison Achilles Blog achillesland.blogspot.com.

A sub set of us have spinal cord injuries and you can find out more about us at our Spinal Cord Injury web site: www.SCI-Madison.org

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Thank you,

Monica KamalRossa
