United Spinal Association (VetsFirst)

In September of 2013, my best friend, Natalie, was involved in a two car collision with a drunk driver.  She survived, but due to a spinal cord injury, became paralyzed from the chest down. On this night, her life was turned upside down. With 12,500 new spinal cord injuries every year, she isn't alone.

To help Natalie and people like her, I am riding my bike across two continents -from the northernmost point of Alaska to the southernmost point of Argentina. #tiptotip

The non-profit best equipped to help is the United Spinal Association. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life of all people living with spinal cord injuries and disorders. They primarily focus on helping not only Americans injured here in the states but also American veterans injured overseas.

My goal is to raise $1.00 per mile. The total distance is nearly 20,000 miles - with all proceeds going directly to United Spinal Association .

Because your donation is going directly to the United Spinal Assocation , it is 100% tax-deductible.

If I can reach this goal, Natalie, the SCI community, and I would be so grateful. Together, we can help change thousands of lives.

Love,
Ian

If you donate $30, I'll send you a dope postcard from my journey
