Dear list members,
Below is the press release about my pending around the world cycle trek. I
plan on visiting over 35 counties and as many O&P facilities I can on my
trek. Please fee free to contact me if you or your facility would be
interested in becoming part of this epic adventure.
Thank you
Dan Sheret
Ertl amputee and long distance endurance cyclist Dan Sheret announced his
next adventure at the Opcare Scientific Meeting in Oxford, England, this
week. Sheret will cycle about 16,000 miles across four continents,
circumnavigating the globe to continue his message of hope and awareness for
others dealing with limb loss. Sheret will raise funds and awareness for two
charities: the UK-based Douglas Bader Foundation and Clear Path
International.
Robert Emerson, CP, former Olympic medal-winning athlete and co-founder of
Lifestyle Prosthetics and Orthotics, North Andover, Massachusetts, said, We
will be at a loss without Dan for the next 14 months, but his work and
mission will have worldwide reach, and that is what our company is about,
going beyond the norm and making the impossible possible for our patients.
Starting in England in the spring of 2007, Sheret plans to cycle to 35
countries and will visit amputee aid organizations along his way.
My goal is twofold: to bring hope and awareness to amputees in need
throughout developing nations and to bring to light to the O&P industry the
great work that is being done to aid landmine victims and other amputees,
which often does not get reported. said Sheret.
