High school runner paralyzed....can you please help him win a van? 5/8/2012 11:47PM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
Letsrun.com-

My high school teammate was paralyzed from the waist down in May of 2008, just 4 days after placing 4th at State in the high jump. (Missouri, athlete Mike Rathmann). Within one year of his accident, his mother got breast cancer and his brother was diagnosed with epilepsy. His father is already dying from caner. This luck may be the worst luck a family could ever have.

He is being nominated to win a van so he can drive himself. Can you please help spread the word about the vote?

promo code 971 will give him 5 extra votes I believe. BUT even without a promo code he will receive 1 vote.

Voting only takes a second.

Mike is a cool guy. He was about to attend University of Missouri before his accident. Hopefully if he wins this car it will be easier for him to continue his education.

Its very unfortunate him, his mother, father AND brother have all had bad luck recently, so if he wins this it would be really great.

Thanks everyone.

Tried to vote. Couldn't do the math problem at the bottom. It's not fair to have a test attached to voting.
