We NEED YOUR HELP

Rachael Short was severely injured as a passenger in a car accident and rendered quadriplegic.

I'm a relay runner in the Big Sur International Marathon to raise funds for Physical Therapy.

Please support me, Brian Rossini, in my final month of training.

B's BLOG is on this site.

I record my runs with a GPS watch, HR monitor, and talk about pain and progress.

Support me in my last month of training.


Brian: 
"1) this girl works non-stop at rehab: 6 days a week, 4hrs a day
2) she's actually a "recovering quadriplegic"... like... whaaat?!

I feel comfortable asking my friends to donate because I know it won't be fettered away.

Her hospital reviewers (idunno what they're called) can only assume it's from the constant rehab work.
Rachael's got 5x+ more determination than Brian building a boat :P"
