We’re GripDeck Grip Tools, and we’re raising funds for our company as we work toward one clear goal: designing the world’s greatest arm wrestling strap. This mission is incredibly important to us because we believe the sport deserves gear that is built with care, performance, and the input of the people who truly love arm wrestling. We want to create a fully customizable buckle and strap that stands out not just for quality, but for how well it serves the community. Right now, we’re asking for help because bringing this vision to life takes resources that we can’t cover alone. 
<br>
<br>
 Your support will help us cover <strong>prototyping costs</strong>, <strong>manufacturing</strong>, and <strong>mission awareness</strong> so we can move from idea to reality. These funds will help us create the first batch of straps, launch the product, and make sure the community is part of the process from the beginning. One of the most exciting parts of this journey is that everyone who donates will have their voice heard when it comes to design features, helping shape a strap that truly reflects what athletes and supporters want. If you believe in innovation, community-driven design, and helping elevate a growing sport, we would be deeply grateful for your support. <strong>Let’s elevate the sport together.</strong>

Help GripDeck Grip Tools Build Better Straps

I'm just a Dad, brother, and son. In January, I got extremely ill. Internal bleeding, liver failure, kidney failure; a procedure made my heart basically stop. When Crystal, the kids, and I were told that I needed to make plans in March, my family flew to Montana, and the doctors said 24-96 hours. I signed all the waivers and got on a flight to California, leaving everything in Montana.

The diagnosis cirrhosis and end stage liver disease. After Loma Linda University took my case I have Smooth Muscle Antibodies autoimmune disease. SSI on average takes 230 days to review and process. I have a roof over my head and was able to fly my children down from Bozeman for a month this summer but with a “terminal disease and no work” order from the doctors means no current income.

Room and board for just the first hospital visit was over $100k. I was in 3 different locations. Yes, I had insurance, but this doesn't cover anything close to what will be coming in. I'm fundraising to cover the overwhelming medical expenses that my insurance doesn't cover. This fundraiser is for me and my family as we navigate this challenging time.

Just a Dad wanting to be around for my children

<div>Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On March 4, 2025, my daughter, Amber Kennedy, was in a serious motorcycle accident on her way home from work in Leesburg. An SUV pulled out in front of her, leaving her no time to avoid the collision. She was thrown from her bike, suffering multiple injuries, including a fractured right fibula, a fractured patella, and a severe wound to her right knee that required immediate surgery. She was airlifted to a trauma center, where she has been receiving ongoing treatment, including IV antibiotics and restricted movement to prevent complications, and will have another surgery next week where it will be determined if she will need skin grafts, or not.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amber is strong and determined, but her road to recovery is going to be long and challenging. Unfortunately, her only means of transportation has been her motorcycle, which is no longer an option given the severity of her injuries. While she is healing, she will need a reliable car to get to medical appointments, therapy, and eventually back to work when she is able.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to our community for help in making this possible. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward helping Amber secure a safe and dependable vehicle so she doesn’t have to rely on a motorcycle once she is able to get back on her feet. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others who might be able to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amber is a fighter, and with your generosity and support, we can help her regain her independence and move forward from this traumatic experience. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for any support you can give.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Jen Scott &amp; Family

Help Amber Secure a Safe Ride to Recovery
