Seasoned American amputee long-distance cyclist Dan Sheret has announced he
will ride his bike around the world this summer to raise money and awareness
for landmine accident survivors and other amputees (
< <URL Redacted>> www.abilitytrek.org).
Sheret said he hopes his trek will bring a groundswell of grassroots and
corporate support to aid some of the 20,000 civilians who are injured by
accidental landmine explosions each year, mostly in the developing world. On
his tour across the United States, he plans to offer riding clinics for
amputees new to biking, and visit community service clubs, schools and the
annual convention of the Amputee Coalition of America.
Dan is doing this on a shoe-string budget. As a member of O and P community,
I support what he's attempting to do. If your facility is along his route, I
encourage you to make it available for a simple repair, place to rest or
provide a meal. Let's start his grassroots effort, right here and now.
