My name is Jennifer and I have two amazing kids. Patrick, 13 and Sam (Samantha) 10. I started this MySpace to kind of spread the word about my son Patrick. He was hit by a car when he was a toddler and suffered a spinal cord injury. Patrick, Sam & I started Help Patrick Walk to raise money for his therapy at Project Walk in Carlsbad, CA where he is learning to walk again. Insurance doesn't cover intense therapy like this so we've figured out ways to raise enough money each month with the help of alot of amazing people and some really cool fundraisers. The cost of the program is $2800 a month..yikes. Check out his official website at http://www.helppatrickwalk.org.
He started Project Walk in January 2005 and we are coming up on the 2 year anniversary. His progress at PW has been incredible. He took 30 steps with the help of his trainers and a walker on November 10, 2006.I put the video of him walking on YouTube and on Myspace. Meanwhile...while he's in the chair he's definitely not sitting around feeling sorry for himself. Just ask the doctors that had to fix his broken arm last year cause he tried to jump a ski on the half pipe at Big Bear and ended up rolling it. Other than that he surfs and plays every wheelchair sport there is. His goal is to walk across the stage at his 8th grade graduation in 2008 and we're doing everything we can to see if we can make that happen.WATCH THIS VIDEO....the music in the background is "Comatose" by Timmy Curran.
