I'm very seriously looking into doing this. I'll be looking into it by Monday. Any one else out there:
Got Cajones?!
Think of it as a way to show respect to those fallen brothers & sisters that plug along through their lives with their ass strapped to a chair. And we all benefit together. If SCI is cured, then TBPI is too!!!

Dear Christopher,
Conquer it! Join Team Reeve Conquer the Canyon this October 1-4 in Arizona to truly experience the Grand Canyon for all it's worth.
We'll train you to be ready for a guided adventure into the canyon (and yes, there is wheelchair accessibility!) We'll help you as you raise funds and awareness for our mission- to cure spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improve the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy. And once in Arizona, we'll keep you busy with an excursion to Sedona, delicious food and pep rallies before hike day.

All the best,
