Hi Rhonda,
So glad to meet you. Thank you for telling us about the bowling, you
participate in. That sounds like a lot of fun. I don't know if we
have many places that do in Prairie Village, Overland Park area of Kansas, where
I live. Is there a web site where you can find out, where they exist
? What is the cost of the equipment to bowl?
Thank you, Rhonda.

Subject: [QUAD-L] IKAN?
Yes you can!:
Hello
everyone!
My name is Rhonda and I am new to the Quad List.
Well, actually, I joined the Quad List many years ago, but do to health
and computer problems I had to unsubscribe about a week after I
joined. I never had a chance to reply to any email or make new
friends. So, technically, I am new to the list. I became a
C4-5 complete quadriplegic in a car crash in 1991. Since then I have
tried to make the best of my life as a quad. I love being outdoors,
going to movies, listening to Country music, working on my voice activated
computer, and most of all, I enjoy bowling! Yes, I actually bowl
even though I am completely paralyzed from the neck down. Are you
curious as to how that's possible? Well, MGT Corporation, which was
co-founded by a quadriplegic named Bill Miller, has products that can
enable virtually ANY WHEELCHAIR USER to BOWL and/or PLAY POWER SOCCER, a
fast-growing sport amongst power wheelchair users. You CAN bowl
and/or play power soccer with the IKAN Bowler® and IKAN Soccer Guard (I
kan? Yes you can!:).
Furthermore, MGT just started a program
called the "IKAN User Reward and Give Back Program." Basically, this
means...
A 10% commission is rewarded to any IKAN User or
representative whose Pedro introduction of MGT's IKAN products to others
results in a sale! Additionally, 5% of the retail price is "given
back" to a resource organization or rehab facility of the purchaser's
choice!
These are just a few suggestions of recipients for the
5% Give Back Program: the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, the Christopher
Reeve Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, United Cerebral
Palsy, or any similar organization or perhaps a rehab facility or hospital
that has assisted you, a friend or loved one.
That's 15%
that either directly or indirectly helps wheelchair users!
Not only
can wheelchair users BOWL and/or PLAY POWER SOCCER, but they can RECEIVE
MONEY -- just by spreading the word!!! Each purchase also helps
organizations that support wheelchair users -- it's REALLY THAT
SIMPLE!!! Medical experts and IKAN Users have said using IKAN
products is therapeutic, rehabilitative, social, recreational,
competitive, and FUN! :-)
I have been bowling with the IKAN
Bowler for about 3 years. It gives me a sense of independence and I
have a "ball" doing it!
For serious bowlers with severe
disabilities, the IKAN Bowler opens up a new competitive outlet and is the
first device of its kind sanctioned for league play by the United States
Bowling Congress (USBC). IKAN Bowler users can join any league,
anywhere, both with and against able-bodied bowlers and/or fellow IKAN
Users (there is/will be a periodic nation-wide tournament for IKAN bowlers
where each entrant bowls at his or her home bowling center and mails-in
verified scores).
If you or someone you know wants to bowl or
play power soccer but can't afford to buy IKAN products, MGT says:
"contact us, and we will attempt to get your local bowling center or a
local service group (like a Rotary Club) to provide equipment that can be
shared by wheelchair users in their community."
This is TRULY a
win, win, win opportunity for everyone involved!
If you have
any questions for me about the IKAN Bowler or other Quad related topics,
please feel free to email me through the Quad List and I will be happy to
try to answer them.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD and let's help
wheelchair users!
Visit file:///C:/www.MGTCorp.com to learn more or make a
purchase!
For additional information, MGT can be reached toll free
at 1-800-675-8598 but they ask that you please visit their website first,
if possible. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Rhonda Reese (Quad List
Newbie:-)
