Richard has always been an outgoing & active man. He has inspired countless adventures for my siblings and I and our children. Growing up with a lover of the great outdoors has impacted me greatly in the way I choose to live. Fitness, ethereal beauty and challenge is what drives his passion for the outdoors.

Unfortunately, Richard cannot enjoy the outdoors like he used to. His health has put up barriers between him and his passions. He depends on an oxygen tank for many of his everyday activities like the gym, walking the dog, gardening, beaches, travel, flying, camping, throwing the football with his grands. Not to mention the mountains that he grew up exploring and would like to continue to enjoy. His mind and body is still strong, only his lungs are weak.

Now to get to the point... Medicare will not cover the cost of a portable oxygen tank. It retails for over $3500 new and used is cheaper but is not protected by a warranty or repairs.

Richard is finding a new lust for life since his more recent heath scares. The only thing standing in his way is his right to breathe. Please help... we cannot confine this man to the couch. He has many more decades of fun with his grandchildren, family and friends to come!!! Thanks a million!!!
