Hi My name is Wade Leslie I am a World Record Holder In Pro Rodeo Bullriding .
If your a true rodeo fan and want to know the reast of the story please read !!Let me begin in 1991. Central Point Oregon. A bull rider nods for the gate. In the next 8 seconds Wade Leslie will make the only 100 point ride ever in professional bull riding history. That ride was captured on film and soon after a video was made called 'The Perfect Ride'.
Jump ahead to 2001. An auto accideent left Wade paralyzed. Doctors gave him no hope of recovery. But try telling that to a bull rider. Before long he was out of a rehab center and seeking alternative methods to regain the function and mobility he had lost. With determination, hard work and cowboy 'try', Wade took his first steps at a bull riding event in Butte, Montana.My carrier high lights. ..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Editor

I will start off with how I came to be in this situation and why I need your help. Most people know me from my rodeo career, which ended on April 27, 2001, when I fell asleep at the wheel, rolled my pickup and was left a paraplegic.
At the time I had no insurance. A rodeo injury the year before kept me away from rodeo and without an income. Bills piled up and keeping a roof over my family's head took precedence over other things. On April 1, 2001 I was released to go back to work shoeing horses. I was starting to catch up financially and thinking of picking up health insurance again. Then came the accident. I lost everything I had worked for. Since then I have been trying to put my life back together and get back on my feet and out of this chair.
I have done extensive research on promising procedures for spinal cord injuries and have narrowed it down to the one I have outlined in this e-mail. I have done most of my therapy on my own and am accomplishing things that my Doctor says I am not supposed to be able to do--I can walk short distances and stand with the aid of a walker.
I guess it's the bull rider in me that has spurred me on this far. I am trying to make a living as a silver smith and I am working on a prototype for a system that would give the handicapped more independence by allowing them to load and unload their wheelchairs into their vehicles without assistance. In addition, I am designing other items that will make fishing and hunting easier for the handicapped to participate in without having to rely on others.
The development of these prototypes has been slow going as I am working with very limited funds and do what I can with the little bit of money I get every month. I am currently working with a friend who owns a western store
In Pendelton OR to raise both awareness and funds for spinal cord injuries. By using my celebrity status as a catalyst we hope to give others the same opportunity for treatment that your donations will make possible for me and that my anticipated results will be an added tool to perpetuate the fund for the continued benefit to others. It may take some time to put this all together but with your help we can, as the saying goes, 'Get 'R Done!!
You can contact my friend Mike Wallis at (
