Help us raise funds for a new WHILLchair for our friend Kevin Reid, Co-Founder of CrushMS!
“Kevin Reid, we all know that every morning presents a far greater challenge to you than most, but you exhibit this impressive strength to lift above the challenge. Every group of friends has pillars that support the house, and you are one of the most solid among all. Stand tall, we will always gather around you.” -Stephen Simoneau, Friend
“Kevin always exudes grace and warmth no matter how trying the day.” -Kelly Mitchell, The Wine Siren/Friend
“Kevin. He holds us up, teaches us to breath and assures us that everything will be ok. Despite his own challenges, he chooses to live love, joy and gratitude everyday. He practices optimism, kindness, compassion and forgiveness by nature, as water flows. Kevin IS Love.” -Penelope Moore, Artist/Friend
“Kevin is one of the most upbeat people I know. When times get hard he always looks for the silver lining in any situation. He gives so much joy to all of his friends and people he meets!” -Danica Sattui, V. Sattui Winery/Friend
“After meeting Kevin recently, I found myself humbled by his generosity and dedication to not only his close network of (many) friends but also to others he does not know who are confronted with life’s challenges, while stoically managing his own.” -Laura Larsen, Virtual Vines/Friend
"If you aren't already best friends with this man, I'd like to introduce you to Kevin. He is quite possibly one of the kindest souls you may ever meet.
Kevin is always the first to give the shirt off of his back and is always the one to take care of a friend in need. Well, at the moment, he needs some support from us. Please take a minute to find out more about this great man." -Garrett B Ahnfeldt, G Wine Cellars/Friend
WHILLchair MISSION - 100 Friends/100 Dollars
On behalf of friends of Kevin, with blessings from his family (and humble permission from Kevin) we need help to raise funds to purchase our friend a new set of WHILLz! All we need is 100 friends to each pitch in $100 and Kevin will have the most awesome mobile WHILLchair available on the market today. Kevin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2002. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.
The WHILL mobility device is the most powerful, effective and stylish mobility device on the planet. Learn more at http://whill.us
On November 12, 2016 Crush MS presented Stanford Neuroscience Health Center a check for $50,000 funding cutting edge MS research CrushMS.org.
On the heels of a hugely successful 3rd Annual CrushMS 2016 that raised almost $75k in funds for the National MS Society to directly aid in research to help find a cure for MS, a group of close friends decided to ban together and find a way to afford a new chair for Kevin. During the event we witnessed our friend test drive a new WHILLchair and collectively noticed the difference in mobility this particular chair offered Kevin. Since it has 4WD, he was able to freely and easily roll over every different type of surface on his family’s winery property including loose gravel, rocks, grass, uneven pavement and wooded areas. Kevin does marketing and volunteer work for many events and organizations throughout Napa Valley and this ease and independence is typically not a luxury for him. Mobility is not a luxury it is an absolute necessity, especially for someone who is so dedicated to helping others. With this chair, Kevin will be able to continue his life mission of spreading love by lifting others; more efficiently, independently and freely. This chair will give our friend the mobility he needs to power forward, literally in all terrain and terroir, paving the way to helping find a cure for MS.
To Kevin: We know this chair will enable you to continue spreading the love that you encompass providing a more comfortable and efficient way to continue to pay it forward in everyway and everyday like you always do, regardless of limitations. Your huge heart is your gift. With this mere tool you will have the power and flexibility to do more, which we all know is precisely what feeds your soul. We love you Kevin and want you to have this chair!
BONUS: Every dollar above the cost of the purchase of Kevin's chair will go directly towards the purchase of a second chair for Kevin to pay it forward and give as a gift to a companion of his choice.
