Amazed and Humbled By All the Support!!

I would like to give a huge thanks to everyone who attended, donated and helped out to make the Klamath River Benefit Bash a huge success. We raised about $5500, but more importantly it was a great time of hanging out with amazing people.

As many of you know I was in San Diego all summer attending Project Walk. I will post a more detailed post about my experience there in the near future, but for now I just want to say that it was a positive experience and I want to go back. So the money we raised will go towards that effort.

The following list are all the businesses and people that donated! Thank you because without your continued support my recovery would have stopped a while ago!!!!

New Belgium Brewing Company

Caldera Brewing Company

Adventure Whitewater

Momentum River Expeditions

Sawyer

Darin McQuoid - Best whitewater calendar ever! Plus its me on the cover!

Traci, RT, Jodi, and Erik (Seattle crew)

Judd Lehman and Sherri Kies

Robyn Jansen and Beth Nolan

Ashland Outdoor Store

Jerry Cousins

Rush Sturges

Gene and Peggy Allred

Dayton Dean and The River King

Thank you for your amazing support! This kind of support is not typical! Gotta love the State of Jefferson!!

River Rafting Fundraiser and Silent Auction - Help needed!

My stint at Project Walk is coming to an end. It's been a great experience and I have really benefited from it. My upper body has gotten a lot stronger, muscles in my core are starting to react, and I'm gaining some muscle mass back in my legs. I'm looking into trying to come back down here in the near future, but there are some logistics to work out.

Don't forget about my fundraiser coming up on the Klamath! It's going to be fun!!

Right now the following things have been donated:

Silent auction items:
-A day whitewater rafting for 2 on the Upper Klamath
-12' whitewater raft

Food for dinner:
-Appetizer
-A keg of beer

We could really use some more donations for drinks(beer, wine or whatever), dinner, breakfast, and the silent auction. So if you can help let me know!! Also, spread the word!

Thanks again for all your support. I wouldn't be here at Project Walk without it!!
