A Chance to help

Sam sent me this. If you are in the area please consider helping.

Carol and Wayne Guttenfelder have a grand daughter who learned about the FES bike that the YMCA Healthy Living Center is trying to raise money to purchase. She really wants to help grandpa be able to use this bike to get stronger, so she had an idea to help raise money for the bike.

Rachel's FES Fundraiser Event: "TIP NIGHT AT PIZZA RANCH"

WHEN: Monday, October 11th, from 4:45 pm-9:00 pm.
WHERE: Waukee Pizza Ranch Restaurant

How you can get involved:

• You can come and eat at the restaurant that evening and leave a "tip" that would go towards the FES bike
• Spread the news and bring family and friends
• or You can help us by working a shift that evening
• Shift work includes: buffing tables, filling napkin holders, sweep & mop & vacuum at the end of the evening
• If you are interested in helping that night, contact Carol Guttenfelder and she will set up the shift times
• Carol's number is 987-4244
  

Any way you choose to get involved, will really help!

What is the FES Bike?

• FES stands for Functional Electrical Stimulation, a rehabilitation technique whereby electrical current stimulates nerves to evoke muscle contractions.
  

• With the RT300, FES creates patterned movement of the arms or legs, enabling your muscles to work and perform active cycling even though you may have lost voluntary control of those muscles.
• This bike will help individuals who have had a stroke, Parkinson's Disease, MS, neuromuscular disease, spinal cord injury, etc...
  

As you can tell, this will help many of our friends at the YMCA Healthy Living Center.

Get in touch with Carol and sign up to get involved!

Thanks everyone and I'll see you there!
