Jimmy Button’s M4M: Week 6 Update
On Thursday the 31st Jimmy flew back to Texas, got off the plane and headed straight for Liberty, Texas where he fell. He got back on his bike and rode into Beaumont, Texas yesterday. He was struggling and in pain, but he did it!! Nothing is holding Jimmy back from completing his ride across the USA to raise money for spinal cord research.
“This ride has turned into more than just raising money for spinal cord research. For me personally it is about never giving up and never throwing in the towel. All of us have things that happen to try to hold us back. The point is to never roll over and try to always find a way to succeed,” said Jimmy.

Jimmy’s goal is to raise $1 Million dollars for spinal cord research, and he has only reached about 20% of his goal. No donation is too big or small. Please help spread the word so Jimmy can reach his goal. Together we can make a difference in the life of a spinal cord injury patient. This injury is tough to live with, not only for the injured person, but their family and friends as well.
