Free Wheelchair Mission

I heard this on a local television news broadcast and could not miss passing it along. Retired NFL Quarterback Jay Schroeder is one of the spokespersons of this worthy cause. Here is the press release from the actual website. If you want to look more into it, check it out at http://www.freewheelchairmission.org/ . Another way that someone is looking at the world, looking at a need, spending the time to explore, creating a vision, taking action, and helping others!
