TRMN8TR Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 An update on my brother...He made it back from Utah to his home in Florida on Friday. He was able to take a commercial flight home, got him on a non-stop in first class. He said it was a little rough but he made it. He will continue therapy at a hospital in Florida but will be staying at home. His progress has been great and its looking very promising that he might walk again someday. It's been one month since the accident and the doctors said he is at where they hoped he would be after 3 months. Still no movement in his calves or feet, but his thighs are getting stronger and he is able to make small movements with them. Even if he doesn't regain any movement in the lower legs, the doctors said there are braces that would allow him to walk and stand with the muscles he can move. It will still take a lot of rehab, but it sounds promising.Thanks again for everyones help and support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APCh8r Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Less than 2 weeks till this is over? How close are you to reaching your total brandon? Lets all help this man on his auction and his effort to support his brother!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yeah Brandon, if you want any of us to toss this on FB, let us know. I bet we could sell some tickets that way too man and help your brother out.I know you were trying to keep it kinda in house to people who would respect an item won like a beautiful Daytona, but if you think it'd be worth it, I would absolutely get this info on my page, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks for the bump guys. Sales are going good, but I have a lot of tickets to move yet. Somewhere in the ballpark of 100 sold. If you want to put it on your FB John I would definitely appreciate it! I'll keep this thread updated as we get closer to the drawing. I'm hoping to get at least 150 tickets sold. If I am close but just didn't meet the goal, I might push the drawing date back as long as no one is opposed to this. It won't be much, maybe a week or 2.

RHill Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 How are you working the tickets people bought through PayPal? I meant to ask at nelson but it slipped my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Moving date is no problem for me. More curious about the paypal not letting use them. I was just wondering if my payment made it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 No issues with moving the date back. I hope you sell all 200 for your brother. ( If I win and it is late November poor crappy non riding weather, can you deliver the bike to me?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Brandon, Any update on your brother and the auction? Hope his recovery is improving!He is making slow but steady progress. Still not much feeling and no movement from the knees down. His thighs and hamstrings are feeling like normal, but still very weak. His left leg is definitely stronger than the right and his left hip flexor is working a little better. Here's a promising pic that my mom sent me today though:He's mostly holding himself up with his arms, and he has some kind of orthotics on that support his ankles. But he walked about 80 feet with the walker, and was moving his legs under his own power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Thanks guys!And to anyone that didn't already see, I updated the OP with some info regarding the drawing. I haven't sold all 200 tickets yet so I"m pushing the drawing back a bit (probably a few weeks) vs. refunding everyone. If there's anyone that doesn't want to wait I will certainly offer a refund as promised. I'll keep the ticket sale count updated every once in awhile to let everyone know how its going!

scottb Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 My thoughts,since the riding season is just about over, you can push the drawing back till whatever date works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
