oldschoolsdime92 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Would anyone want to help get a benifit ride going for him? I have never done anything like that, or participated in one, so I am not exactly sure what to do, but i want to help a brother out. Anyone care to loan a hand in the planning and such?

scottb Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Maybe too, a raffle/auction at the next meet and greet? I dont want over step bounds, but if enough people kick in like $5 or $10 bucks, good things can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 i used Brian Kinney Foundation for the name since thats what he posted as his PO Box hows this sound? feel free to make any changes before i publish"Brian Kinney is a local member and friend of many people in the Ohio motorcycle scene. Last September while on a ride, Brian was ran off the road and hit a tree head-on. He is now paralyzed from the chest down as a result. Brian has been a huge inspiration to everybody who has come in contact with him; he has stayed positive and not lost who he was. He is making the best of a bad situation and choosing to live his life. He is still active in the car and motorcycle community today.Recently he got in contact with a person who makes a kit for paraplegics that will get Brian back on his bike again. Due to medical costs and other things he needs for his changed lifestyle, the money is not readily available. We are starting this foundation to help him collect enough money to get back on two wheels!Here is his story http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/briankinneyAny donations to help him would be greatly appreciated, no matter how small. He has given so much inspiration to everybody, now it's time we can all give something back to him. Even if you do not know Brian, we ask you to please help us out in this cause. I can't imagine how hard it would be to lose the function of my legs at such a young age, and now we have a chance to help give him back the one thing that he loved.Thank you very much, I will keep this updated as it all progresses!"
