In August we went to Ventura to hold a memorial handcycle ride and BBQ in memory of our friend Alvin Mathews who passed away in 2021.<\/p>\n

Alvin was a member of Triumph Foundation, after a <\/span>three-story fall resulted in a catastrophic spinal cord injury at the C5 to C7 levels.\u00a0 Before his injury, <\/span>Alvin had run marathons on 6 continents with Richard Donovan, an ultra-distance runner who organized the events. When he was first injured, Richard raised money to support his friend. And w<\/span>hen Alvin passed away, Richard Donovan honored his memory with a transcontinental run to support Triumph Foundation\u2019s programs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to help people living with paralysis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Read about Richard Donovan 3000+ mile run across America in Alvin's memory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Triumph's handcycling event, in honor of Alvin and through the support of Richard's fundraising efforts, had a great turnout with over 40 participants.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who attended and donated to Richard's Fundraiser<\/a> for Triumph.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
