Kouri & OKC

[ColumbiaHeightsHoya]

All,

Hoya football legend is riding his wheelchair across America. I joined him for the Amarillo to Oklahoma City leg and the Thunder organization is world class! Follow along at #rideforparalysis or donate at: www.classy.org/give/t204161/#!/donation/checkout

He will wrap up his journey on May 15th on campus. Here is the video that was on national television for the OKC/Rockets game this past Tuesday: www.nba.com/thunder/video/nextstep-190409

Let's suppor this Georgetown hall of famer!

I should have commented that all are welcome for the 5/15 completion party on campus.

Nice article:

Janne Kouri raised a fist and rode his electric wheelchair through an arch of red, white and blue balloons set up between Georgetown’s Healy Gates on Wednesday, as dozens of friends and family members cheered his long-awaited arrival. When Kouri began creating the itinerary for his 2,900-mile, two-month ride to raise funds and awareness for people living with paralysis, a cross-country journey that began on March 11 at his home in Manhattan Beach, Calif., there was never a question it would end here.

We had Will Reeve ride with us too from Good Morning America yesterday so they should have a piece out soon as well. The mission certainly has spread the message of the lack of facilities for those living with paralysis. What a blast this trip was and thanks to the Gtown community for showing support!
