Mo’s Custom WCMX Chair

Hey!! I just want to start this off by thanking the Kelly Brush Foundation as they were generous enough to provide partial funding for this chair! I am so grateful and excited.

I’m Mo and I ride wheelchair motocross (WCMX). Skating is nothing short of a lifeline for me. It’s given me the impossible back, redefining the world through adrenaline and a stubborn refusal to stay down. I used to think a lot of the world was off limits because of my disability. I believed in restrictions simply because they were assigned to me. Now I don’t. Now I skate. This sport gave me life, but to move any forward and access my true skill, I need a custom WCMX chair.

I currently skate in a chair that’s 4 inches too wide, so I stuff it with rolled up sweatpants for stability. This chair is highly limiting itself - lt lacks necessary parts for key tricks and hinders my skill at the park. I risk my body while skating in a chair with this width and weight; the lack of stability and control is often the reason for my falls. To qualify to compete and progress in my abilities, I need a safe, well-fit chair with all necessary parts.

I am again, beyond grateful to have received partial funding from the Kelly Brush Foundation, but I need to reach this goal in order to get the chair started. Thank you to anyone who is able to help, I appreciate it and it means the world.
