I NEED YOUR HELP to Reach My Goal to Raise $2,500 for Challenged Athletes

Two of our own MCHS athletic family members are now part of the Challenge Athletes Family.

In 2000, we learned one of our boys was paralyzed in a freak accident. Joey Tezak, has amazed us with his desire to continue his passion for athletics. 10 years ago this organization contributed the money to buy a racing wheel chair. This gave Joe an avenue to compete again. He now plays wheelchair rugby when not working for US Homeland Security.

In 2007, MC Wrestler ~ Joey Grady, lost his right arm and sustained multiple internal injuries defending our county in Iraq.

I am taking on the challenge of a lifetime and I am writing today to ask for your help. By you donating to the Challenged Athletes Foundation, you not only help me reach my fundraising goal, together we can help people with physical challenges realize their dreams. Your donation will go to the Challenged Athletes Foundation; an incredible 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides funding and inspiration to hundreds of physically challenged athletes each year so they can participate, compete and live life to the fullest.

When I arrive at the 2009, 16th annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge Oct. 25th, I will bring my wetsuit, my bike and my running shoes. But the money I am raising, and the funds you are donating, will support athletes who can’t always get to the starting line: swimmers missing limbs, paraplegics who use handcycles to bikers and runners who race using artificial limbs. Just like me, these challenged athletes want to participate in athletics and feel the rush of competition, but they face a major obstacle. They do not lack fitness, desire or skills. It is only a lack of funding that stands in the way of their dreams.

High tech running prosthetics are very expensive. Learning to swim when you lack a limb (or limbs) requires special coaching, and handcycles can cost upwards of $2,500. With our help, challenged athletes can bridge the financial gap and overcome funding obstacles blocking their path to athletic achievement.

That is why I am challenging myself at the age of 54 after 13 surgeries to make a difference in their lives. Every morning when I get up out of my bed without any help, walk to my shower on my own legs and use my hands and arms to get ready for another day of school.....I AM THANKFUL!

Please partner with me by making a donation through my web site link: Follow This Link . Join me in making dreams come true for challenged athletes. Give the gift of sports and help get challenged athletes off the sidelines, and into the game.

Thank you for your support,
Coach Campo
