Many or you won't know me here but I've been part of the Boneyard since its inception and helped Tom and Fishy in the early years offering hardware and help and administration. I've been an admin on the Men's board forever. So now I'm asking for your help:

My brother in law has Cerebral Palsy and has been in a wheel chair and needed extra help and care his entire life. He was never expected to leave the hospital as an infant, he's now 54 and needs help to do everyday life things like shower, eat, etc.

He participates in a program called Ability First. They have programs and activities for their clients that focus on achieving or doing things that seem improbable or inaccessible. Even though my brother in law has never walked, because of Ability First he has snow skied, gone camping and experienced many other common activities for you and I that would never be available to him.

My wife and I are doing a charity walk, well 'Stroll and Roll', for him tomorrow (maybe today for some of you just reading this). I would really appreciate anything you are willing to donate.

It's important to know, that anything you donate goes 100% to his center. Nothing is taken for administration or overhead. It's all for new equipment, supplies or activities. It's also 100% tax deductible.

If you would be willing to support us on quest to raise money for his center, please click this link: Long Beach Center: Jim Levesque - AbilityFirst Stroll & Roll 2016

I (we - my tao wife) really appreciate anything you can do.

I just wanted to thank you for supporting us. The generosity of the boneyard is such an awesome thing. We had a great morning. Here is Art with his medal and the Laker Girls at the end of the event!
