Default My New Ramp

Here are pictures of my new ramp, and the great guys who built it for me. Many thanks to Don and Mason with the Bike the US for MS organization, and Steve who owns Grayson Place Building near Charlottesville, VA. Don, Mason and Steve worked this past Saturday and Sunday, building me a ramp that makes it easier and safer for me to get from my front door to the car and back. Please take a look at Don's website -- http://www.biketheusforms.org/

This group of super nice men and women are riding from the coast of Virginia to the coast of Oregon this summer. Their goal is not only to collect donations for MS, but also to give a hand to people with MS along the route they'll be taking. If you know of anyone with MS who lives along the route who may need a helping hand, please let them know about Bike the US for MS. Or if you live along the route and need help with something, get in touch with the group.

Thanks!

Shoot, I meant to put this in Stumble Inn. If it needs to be moved, can someone do it for me? Thanks!

Hi Maryann,
Wow! That was terrific that Don, Mason and Steve made that ramp for you. Loved your YouTube debut.

It's wonderful that your life can be made so much easier with the help of a ramp to get you to your car and front door.

I find that grass is hard to walk on because it is uneven. It throws off my balance. Wet with rain and snow is even worse.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and good luck with your new ramp.
