Ill try to make it out there. You might want to contact the people over at ACSD to see if they can help gather some stuff for the raffle or at least help publicize the event.

hey there MEGGIN !!!! ... SAY, i have a surprise that i hope will help....
i just got some shirts that were donated to the cat pound (along with cat food)---from danny windsor---he is not in the credits, but he played one of the FLYING MONKEYS in the WIZARD OF OZ....
i just called him, as he is a friend, being that the shirts just gave me an idea:
he said for me to come over tomorrow and he will give autographed pictures of him, as the monkey, and a few other things, plus a signed note, so folks will know that the clothes are his....
some hawaian shirts, and two custum made ones from the 70's...
you can auction them off---he is letting me do this for you, as it is a benefit, as he does not like doing this for self...
here is the local news, of the show that he recently did with betsy palmer, his long-time friend....
now, perhaps if you can put out some flyers advertising these things from the "actor from the monkey" in the oz movie, there are many strong fans out there that would like these things...
if you need to call me, use my email, and i will give you the phone...
neebeeshaabookway@yahoo.com...
aslo, i will email you...
this was very kind of him... i really think if you put out some flyers, this will help in some way...
i am printing him out the info, as well, but he is my friend, so he trust me....
i will mail it all tomorrow night....
and my dream catchres and jewlery, on sat. night...
love and god bless, neebee

Just peeked at the new website .. it sounds like things are looking up : He can feel as far down as the top of his legs. That is fantastic !
btw Technically, a 'quadriplegic' is anyone who has suffered damage to the cervical region of their spinal cord. There are however differing degrees of 'completeness'.
It sounds to me like Micah's injury is incomplete, which is a really good thing. Rehab is going to be tough, but he sounds tougher.
The way it was explained to me - as the swelling near the injury site declines, function will return. It will take time.
Thinking positive thoughts.

I hope nobody minds, I've posted the link to your Event on both Mountainproject.com and Rockclimbing.com
Micah's a good guy and a strong climber, he probably won't remember me but tell him Art said Hey and I'm pulling for him.

Checked the website:
In order to use the suction tool, Micah is having to lift his fore-arm in a lateral direction; evidence he has control of muscles we were not previously aware he could use.
More good news !

Hi all.
I have been e-mailing various contacts in the climbing community and other business owners that are in positions to offer donations for the Auction on July 10th.
Even if you cannot donate something yourself, I kindly request that Micah's friends and other supporters please e-mail people that may be able to offer donations.
For example, Greg Epperson has already offered a signed, framed, and matted photograph. (Thanks Greg!)
Please request the donations to be sent to:

I did my 5 weeks of spinal cord injury rehab at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (scvmed.org) in San Jose. They and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center (rancho.org) in Downey are supposed to be the best SCI rehab programs in the state.
Later on after Micah gets out of inpatient rehab care (and it's going to be a while) you might look into Project Walk (projectwalk.org) in Carlsbad. I believe they have a trial week.
Best wishes !
