Update From Ron

I hope this letter finds you well. I know we are facing challenging times to various degrees so I thought I would write to you and give you a couple good words. The proverbs say "a good word is medicine to the heart." After watching the news, looking at the bills I couldn't pay, and realizing my future income was in decay I went to bed feeling a bit down (ok, a lot down). As I finally drifted off to sleep questions like "Why do we have to face so many trials, and can't I just have a time of rest?" went through my head. I work hard when will it pay off? When I woke up the next day my caregiver turned on the radio I listened to positive encouraging messages, the course of one particular song said "there is a light at the end of the tunnel for me, for me." I don't know why it made such an impact but it's true. There is always a ray of hope, a light of truth in the mist of dark circumstance. So, what was I going to do about my ray of hope? Well if you know me I will create some crazy idea. "Hence comith forth the conception of the HOPE ROD." On the weekend of June 14th I will be the first man paralyzed from the neck down to drive a car with only the use of his teeth. I have dreamed of driving a car again and for 29 years I have searched for the technology that would enable me to do so… I have found it. Thanks to David, owner of Dignified Motors in Phoenix, AZ and his team I now have a car with the technology to drive. The car is a 1968 Firebird. The owner Ron Philips has given me the use of his car in order to accomplish this incredible task. Ron and Michael Peters have developed The Quad Squad, a group of people that are working together to make this all possible. Please join The Quad Squad by going to www.thequadsquad.net. You could even buy a t-shirt and become a piece of this historical event. The purpose of the hope rod is to bring hope to the wounded, the hurting, and the broken spirits. This car will be the Vehicle to bring my message of inspiration and enthusiasm to the world. Instead of feeling sorry for my own circumstance I decided to help others see a positive light in the mist of their problems. There is hope; you do not have to give up. Take that ray of hope today and turn it into sun shine. Let's get off our behinds and do something even if it is small. And in the end this will change the world, YOU have the power to change the world, your life counts, you have a purpose. Thank you for allowing me to share my life with you.
