CatWalk’s Conquest Tour ~ “Conquering Freedom” 29 October-13 November 2008
The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Trust is giving 17 individual wheelchair users the opportunity to raise funds for research into a cure for spinal cord injuries while participating in a national motorbike tour. The 17 individuals will be riding a high performance motorcycle specially designed and manufactured for wheelchair users to experience the ultimate freedom of riding directly from their wheelchairs.This event will give wheelchair users the opportunity to again feel the freedom that comes with riding a motorcycle ~ the rush, the sound and the bugs on the visor! Something that they all thought would never be possible since their accidents.All funds will go towards spinal cord injury research and changing the future that will improve the quality of life for SCI victims.
We have two Federation members participating in the fundraiser. John Marrable, Information Consultant at the Dunedin Disability Information Centre and Anita McKenzie, Trustee of DRC Southland and DRC Queenstown will both be riding in the event.
You can help these 'easy riders' by sponsoring their ride. Simply go to:
