Giving Back 2 Becky


 

Dear Family and Friends,
As many of you may know, June 13, 2011, will mark the 3rd anniversary since Becky's accident. In honor of Becky's brave journey, we would like to invite you to join us in the

1st Annual Giving Back 2 Becky One Mile Walk for a Cure
on Saturday, June 11, 2011, at 11:00 a.m., at Mt. Greenwood Park located at 3721 West 111th Street, Chicago, Illinois. A portion of the proceeds raised will go to The Claddagh Foundation as well as the Spinal Cord Injury Association of Illinois.

Throughout these past three years, your unwavering support and encouragement have been the driving force that has pushed Becky beyond her limits and motivated her to create a "new normal" for herself. Despite her chronic pain and limited mobility, her compassion and empathy towards others has never faltered. She rarely complains, regardless of how difficult of a day she is having, and has always remained optimistic that tomorrow will bring a better day. Becky's stoic display of bravery and courage over these past three years has been nothing short of inspiring.

Through your generous past donations, Becky has been able to continue to live as independently as possible with the assistance of a power wheelchair, a computer with specialized software, a wheelchair accessible van, and a 24-hour caregiver. To the average person, these items don't sound like luxuries, for for a person suffering from a major spinal cord injury, they are truly blessings that would have been unavailable to Becky without your support. Unfortunately, the cost of these items is extremely expensive and not covered by insurance.

We would like to continue to provide Becky with these and similar items in the future, as well as have the means to "Give Back" to those organizations that so graciously help both Becky and our family during such a difficult time. In an effort to make that happen, we would appreciate your help in making this event a great success. We hope to see you there!

Love,
The Clifford Family
