Canton veteran who lost leg rides again thanks to customized motorcycle

by Kelly Byer from https://www.cantonrep.com Challenge America: Makers For Veterans helped Charles Zollicoffer get back on the road. Challenge America: Makers For Veterans helped Charles Zollicoffer ride a motorcycle for the first time in eight years. More importantly, he said, the fall program renewed his faith in humanity. “I was left for dead on the side of the road,” he said. “So, during my time in this last seven or eight years, I have lost a lot of faith in people. A lot.” In 2011, a drunken driver pulled in front of Zollicoffer’s 1995 Kawasaki motorcycle on state Route 800. The now retired U.S. Marine Corps and Army National Guard veteran had completed three tours in Iraq and was scheduled for deployment to Afghanistan. Another person came across the early morning wreck and stopped to help. Zollicoffer, a 53-year-old Canton resident, spent months in a coma and had his left leg amputated at the hip. This past Veteran’s Day, he received a modified trike at the Makers For Veterans closing ceremony. His family’s safety concerns had kept Zollicoffer from pursuing a costly trike, but they talked and accepted what it meant to him beforehand. He’s taken a few rides. “I can’t even describe the feeling, when you get that wind blowing through your hair,” joked Zollicoffer, who has a shaved head. Makers for Veterans The Colorado-based nonprofit Challenge America began the Makers for Veterans program (CAMVETS) in 2019. It brought together volunteers with various expertise to solve challenges posed by veterans. Dallas Blaney, executive director of Challenge America, said the inspiration came from a similar initiative in Israel. Challenge America members participated in the international program and wanted to recreate the experience in the United States. Blaney described it as “human-centered design applied to the veterans space.” The process begins

York City Police Department receives motorcycle donation

by Valeria De Leon from https://fox43.com York – It’s the season of giving and one York County police department has a new ride thanks to a local organization. America’s 911 Foundation donated a brand new 2019 Harley-Davidson police motorcycle to the York City Police Department on Saturday. Each year, the organization gives away a motorcycle to police departments, this one is the 20th one they have donated to police. Chief Troy Bankert York City Police said the motorcycle unlike a vehicle, helps them spark a conversation with the community and better their relationship. “It gives us a good opportunity to interact with the community without being inside of a car, it’s more personal but at the same time it lets us have some mobility,” said Chief Bankert. “These are people who protect us and put their lives on the line every day,” said Roger Flick, America’s 911 Foundation promotions manager, “and they want to keep their community safe and we want to help them do that.” The organization also holds a motorcycle ride to remember those who lost their lives on September 11th. The York Police Department takes part in that ride, so organizers said they were more than happy to announce the winners of this year’s raffle.

The Big Climb Event Seattle from AVON TYRES

Hi Family and Friends! March 22 our Stair Busters team will be participating in The Big Climb Seattle. It feels like Jack climbing the Beanstalk as you go higher and higher. Jack traded a cow for magic beans. I am hoping you will trade a few “magic beans” for the thrill of “climbing” with me to support the fight against Leukemia. Today is Giving Tuesday. Please click the link below this text. Your “magic beans” will help make a big difference in the fight against blood cancers. https://www.llswa.org/site/TR?pg=pfind&fr_id=1650&fr_search_type=team What is the Big Climb? The Big Climb is a stairclimb up the Columbia Center – the tallest skyscraper in downtown Seattle. There are 69 floors of stairs, 1311 steps, and 788 feet of vertical elevation. Although it will be challenging, it pales in comparison to what blood cancer patients go through. All proceeds benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Who is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?

The mission of LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Motorcycle gang donates RM25k to Kelantanese dad with special needs kids

by TAN MEI ZI from https://www.malaymail.com They may look like rebels but a group of Malaysian motorcyclists proved that they have hearts of gold after helping a single father and his special needs children. In a Facebook post, Geng Motorsport member Aresif Pok Are shared how the group collected donations totalling RM25,140 for Mohd Zain Abdullah, whose three children are living with cerebral palsy. Mohd Zain gave up his job to look after them after his wife passed away from breast cancer in 2016, Berita Harian reported. When he returned to work, the Kelantanese father-of-seven could only take up a job as a carpenter near his house as he needed to commute back home frequently to attend to his children’s needs. Mohd Zain’s 21-year-old son also had to put off work to help care for his younger siblings who require assistance with everyday tasks such as bathing and eating. The family’s story of hardship caught the attention of Geng Motorsport after it made the rounds on social media and WhatsApp groups. Made up of motorcycle clubs from Kelantan and Terengganu, the Geng Motorsport members banded together to ride to Mohd Zain’s residence in Kampung Kok Keli to present him with a monetary gift to ease his burdens. The group’s spokesperson Ardy Datok Agos added that it was the biggest donation the group has ever collected throughout their history of charitable deeds, according to KitaReporters. Aresif said they continued to receive financial aid for Mohd Zain even up until the last minute. “Thank you to everyone who donated, even up until the last second there were still people who wanted to contribute. “The struggles faced by Mohd Zain truly touched our hearts and we pray that he remains strong and under God’s care always,” wrote Aresif.
