In 1997, Hilliard resident Scott Wolfe was struck by a car and lost his ability to walk, talk and eat on his own. Since that accident Scott has also suffered through the loss of both parents. He is currently cared for by an aunt and uncle.

Scott's teacher at Hilliard Darby High School, Deb Spence, and his nurse Melissa Harper recognized the freedom a specialized wheelchair would give him. The high tech motorized wheelchair, which costs upwards of $25,000, would allow Scott steer by moving his head. The head navigation technology would also allow Scott to use various communication devices to help him express himself more freely. Ms. Spence is heading up a school-wide fundraising effort to get Scott the wheelchair that will change his life.

We'd like to supplement Hilliard Darby's fundraising efforts to get that wheelchair for Scott but we need your assistance. We'd like you to pledge "Pennies for Points" - the championship points Dana will earn in our next race.

Here's how it works: Each race day has the potential of 160 points for the winner of the day's three races. Last year, Dana averaged about 138 points per event (hopefully that average will be higher this year). If Dana were to earn 140 points at the next event, a $0.10 pledge would convert to a $14.00 donation to the Moving Forward Wheelchair Fund.

Yes, it puts extra pressure on us to finish every race and on Dana to fight for every point she can, but it's for a good cause and we're up to the challenge. Help us if you can.
