Dear Australian O and P Providers,
I am a BK amputee, motivational speaker and long distance endurance cyclist.
Starting the first week of September 2004, I will begin a 4 month and
15,000km solo self-contained cycle trip circumnavigating the continent of
Australia. I plan to start from Perth, and head east across the Nullarbor.
I am trying to put together a list of prosthetic providers along my route
from whom I can purchase needed sleeves, liners ect. And if need be can
effect any repairs necessary. The overall goal of this trip is to promote
the awareness that today an amputee's activity is limited only by their own
imagination and determination. It is my hope to bring this message of hope
and motivation to the amputees and health care providers of your country by
making peer visitation and free public speaking engagements to Rehab
hospitals and clinics. Please feel free to contact me if you and your
facility is interested in acting as a supplier, or would like help schedule
a speaking engagement, or would like more information.
Thank you,
