Ian Burkhart Foundation

Friends and Family -

I'll be running the Austin Marathon of February 19th to raise money to benefit the Ian Burkhart Foundation, and any donation will help make an impact.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me, Ian and his foundation.

More information about Ian Burkhart Foundation please read below:

The Ian Burkhart foundation was established to help other individuals with spinal cord injuries. From the initial trauma to transitioning home to continuing on with your life we are here for you. A spinal cord injury is devastating to the individual and the family. Let us help you with any questions you have about adjusting to the new normal of your life. As a 501(c)(3) entity the Ian Burkhart Foundation is approved under the IRS as a tax exempt organization which means your donation is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
