Who would be interested in having a hand/cycle, ride/run where all proceeds go to a foundation to help paralysis conditions? Are there current events similar to this? My goal to ride in each state to take part in this type of event.

Sounds like an awesome idea. Do you have a route mapped out yet?

Hand Cycles are ALWAYS on eBay. Racing cycles are harder to find (push rims) like I have. In the year I was waiting for a push rim style racing cycle on eBay, I had an active search sending me emails every time anythign was posted and there was usually half a dozen new ones posted on eBay each week. And you can usually pick them up for a fraction of the price if you are ok with used, in most cases very slightly used too.
