Guys,

I am nearing the end of the family of four build for the cancer patient. I put $ down on the last bike, and its waiting to be payed for. I also need a few loose odds and ends to make this wish come true. Its been a lot of hard work, but very rewarding. If you would like to help, please see the info below. I would love to order my last bike this week, so I have it for early next week..

Thanks for all the help and support you guys give,,


Lets all get together and help out and grant a wish. This one hits close to home so I am taking it personal and doing everything in my power to grant this wish...

$1.00, $5.00, $10, $100 IT DOES NOT MATTER AND IT ALL ADDS UP. I CURRENTLY NEED AROUND $200-300 TO MAKE THIS ALL HAPPEN... REMEMBER THATS 4 OF EVERYTHING...

So today I opened up my email. I had a guy who wanted to donate a super cool bike. 24'' Free agent totally old school looking. chrome frame, fork. Red tires, NEW graphite tuff 2's, profiles, profile stem, s&m bars and so much more alot of stuff from porkchopbmx, bike is all New. He asked if I needed it and I said sure... Done deal...

Then i opened up the next email. It was a guy looking for a bike for his son who has autism and likes being on the track, so I asked him what kinda bike his son likes, he said he likes bright colors, hmmm red tires? He also said his son loves mags, CHECK. His son loves looks of old bikes Check. Could it be this easy. So happens the kid is a bigger kid and this crusier will fit him great. What a deal..All of this fell together in 2 emails in 10 min's.

So I email my buddy and said hey, ship the bike direct to the guy, he said sweet and tossed in some gear also! It so happens I passed back and forth emails from guy to guy, and they have alot in common both have children with autisum. Just because you have something like autisum doesnt mean you can not do anything,
I saw pictures and vids of this kid ride a loaner bike from a trainer at a local track and he does great. So just because you have something like autisum dont let the man get you down, you can do whatever you put your mind too.

So in a long story short. 3 total strangers emailed each other today, 2 have alot in common, there children and BMX. This program made 2 familys very happy and it feels very rewarding to be part of something like this...

PICTURES SOON TO COME!!!!!!

THANKS GUYS

I don't know where to start so I guess i start with thank you Nick. You and the Midwest BMX Donation Program has helped my family out ina tremendous way. one week ago we did not know how we would be able to facilitate our autistic 13 year old son a bike for BMX racing. One week later not only did you find him the perfect bike, but it came with racing uniform and helmet. Along with the volunteers at the local BMX track. My son Deandre is well on his way to the sport of BMX. You have awakened the enormous spirit in my heart, and now I'm working to help special needs kids in my area. If there is anything I, or my family can do/give just let us know. I also encourage anyone that has the ability to donat bikes, bike parts, and cash. To please give to this worthy institution. you are changing peoples live one bike, one kid at a time. If its ok I'd like to share with you supporters, sponsors, and future donaties. The things your are able to provide, and the quality of bikes, and equipment you are able to donate to children/families in need. Thank you once again, and God Bless you and you family Nick!
