Reese's Rugby Wheelchair!
Reese has been playing wheelchair rugby for the past 4 years and has been part of the team, KC Revolution, for the past 2 years. As soon as Reese tried wheelchair rugby, he was in love with it. The team has been an amazing inspiration for Reese and supported him when he had spinal surgery and had to sit out for quite a while recovering. He is now recovering from spinal surgery and has been pushing in his chair for 5-7 miles almost every night trying to get back into shape for next season.
The rugby chair he currently uses is on loan from the team but is not custom made for Reese. Reese is hoping to get his own rugby chair before the next season in the fall. He has applied for grants and was awarded one for $3,500. However, a rugby wheelchair costs much more. It will cost between $8,500-9,000. We are asking for your help in reaching this goal so Reese can have his own rugby wheelchair designed specifically for him, so he can start next season fully healed, and ready to take his team to nationals again, and the team chair can go back to the team for other players to use.
