2000m Adaptive record attempt

Post by racing4ms » May 26th, 2007, 4:30 am

Sarah-Jane has Multiple Sclerosis.
She has trouble making it across the road without help, but she sure can row!

we have a show of support from the Chicago Indoor Roowing club, so how about something from you lot ?

As her part of MS Awareness week, 3-9th June 2007, Sarah-Jane has decided to attempt to set a world record on her Concept2 indoor rowing machine for her age/weight/disability clasification.
The location is currently a secret, but it will be streamed live onto the web as it happens on the 9th June, for full details check out the site nearer to the date.

Check out the videos as we go on this online adventure.

Aussies can sms/text her a message of support on 1999 5555 (55c charge applies) - all profits will go to the MS Society of NSW/Vic.

Everyone can show their support by clicking on the 'Make a Contribution' link at the forum, all money received between now and the 16th June 2007 will also go to the MS Society of NSW/Vic.

You can also leave a message of support on the Racing4MS Forum

Tell your friends, send lots of sms's and let the whole world know something special is about to happen

since we can't post the link to the forum, just google us

3 days to go! Counting down to Saturday 10am, @ the park at the end of Blues Point Rd, North Sydney. Come along and help cheer SJ along.

since if you are reading this on the USA concept2 page, it will be a bit hard to get here, so we will be streaming it live via a webcam directly into the racing4ms forum, about 8pm Friday NY/east coast time.
