Super Chairing presents Trail Ride 2011.
This is the longest ride of the year, all taking place through the forest and spanning a total of 40 miles that will take 2 days too complete, all in wheelchairs . The starting point of the Trail ride is at Potawatomi Woods off of Dundee Rd in Northbrook and will end at the Wisconsin state border. The event will be taking place on September 10th & 11th.
Super Chairing and all participants will be riding to raise awareness, and money for Super Chairing programs. Participants in wheelchairs will also be racing for prize money as well as other give away's.
Our goal this year is not only to raise more money than last year, but also to get more participants involved. We are looking for people both in wheelchairs and on bikes to participate in this years Trail Ride 2011.
If you are living a chairing life there are not many action, adventure, or motor sports for people with high level injuries, and limited mobility. Power Wheelchair Racing & Chairing Rides can be done by anyone who is in, or has a power chair. A big loss when a person gets or has a disability is they lose much of there independence. When you are out on those trails or tracks you are in control. You are not only competing against others, you are also competing against nature, and your personal best. This event is great for the mind, body, and soul. It turns a wheelchair into wings and gives a you a sense of the freedom and independence you once had, or never had.
Super Chairing is a non profit organization that is looking for individuals
and companies to donate and sponsor towards Trail Ride 2011. The money
raised is for a very noble cause and will help both the progression towards a
cure for spinal cord injuries, and the progression and growth of Super Chairing.
There are many ways to help support these sports and this event, either by participating, volunteering, or being a sponsor. Everyone’s involvement is very important. |
