Ride with Carl Edwards for Sam
Posted: Tuesday, Jul 14th 2009Our friend and former employee Sam Russell was injured in a bicycling accident in June of 2007. Sam is currently paralyzed from the waist down. He's at the Shepherd Center, one of the top spinal injury rehab hospitals in the world. He's participating in a therapy program that includes rehab and electrical stimulation of his muscles and nerves.
Carl Edwards is a long time friend of Sam's. They have been riding mountain bikes together since junior high school. Carl will be sharing his time to raise money to help with some of the therapy expenses.
Ride with Carl as he makes his annual bike ride to the Gateway International Speedway. We will join Carl for the first part of his ride on July 14th at 9:00am starting at Walt's and ride to McBaine on the MKT trail. A minimum $50 donation is suggested to the Sam Russell Helmet Foundation. For more information call (573)442-6759 or (573)886-9258.
