Cat's Ride for Life
Donation protected
My name is Catherine "Cat" Brubaker, and I am a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor (x2). I have had to relearn how to walk, talk, and regain cognitive function twice over the last 4 years with intensive therapy. It hasn't been easy but with sheer tenacity, will power, and help from others I am taking my life back.
About 9 months ago, I walked into Sun Cyclery bike shop using my walker and purchased a recumbent trike and it has changed my life. I've been able to regain my independence, confidence, and rebuild my body.
I have accepted the challenge of riding 5,200 miles across country (from WA to FL) with SpokesFightingStrokes.org. I want to show others that you can overcome obstacles one step at a time, or in my case, one pedal at a time. We'll be leaving on June 23rd, 2014 from Anacortes, WA so I need your help quickly! The ride will end in Key West FL 5 months later. I have never felt more passionate about doing something like this in my entire life!
Your generous donation will cover food, fuel, and costs associated with the trip (support van/camping fees/bike supplies).
Your support for me and the cause will be greatly appreciated. Help me be AMAZING and show the world that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
