Last Saturday the Poker Run was held to benefit the Foundation. The turnout wasn't great due to the weather, but we would like to thank Courtney Miles and his buddy for showing up and braving the rain for the ride! Mike and few friends and family gathered at the Middlebrook Inn afterwards to grab a bite and hang out!
We would like to extebnd a special thanks to Summer and her dad who gave a generous sponsorship from Subway for the event. We look forward to holding this event again, and hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate!

What's new...
Mike and dad bought a cabin about a month ago in West Virginia. They have been up for a visit almost every weekend to relax, and start fixing it up to meet Mike's needs and with supplies. They are both very happy about habving a place on the river to enjoy!
Mike's health has been great! The wound on his back is pretty much completely healed and although there is another small one on the back of his ankle, we feel we have this under control. The visiting nurse still comes to check on him once a month as well. He is gaining weight-he thinks too much!- and has more energy to ride over to the shopping center across the street for his sugar free Red Bulls and shopping trips to Home Depot.
A couple of weeks ago, he caught his first fish and completed staining a cabinet for the garage for him to keep his stuff in.
In February, NRH takes an annual ski trip for SCI patients and their physical therapists and he plans to attend! He continues to go to Orioles games with dad, including one this Sunday vs. the Red Sox (we all know who he's cheering for!).
Next Saturday is the first annual Gotz Strength for Spinal Cord Injury Motorcycle Poker Run! we're excited that Mike will be able to come out and enjoy the people, bikes, and beer and we hope it will be a great turnout!
Laslty, Mike is happy that our little sister Erin has chosen a career path! We're so excited that she just enrolled in the Dental Assistant Training School and will become certified to help fix your teeth in 11 weeks. Go Booger!!
