Bicycle trek raises money for disabled
Paraplegic member inspires KU fraternity to travel across state
by Thom Clark Kansan staff writer
twelve members of a KU fraternity participated in a 360-mile bicycle tour across Kansas this weekend for a friend who couldn't join them.
Members of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity presented a $4,000 check yesterday at Mill Creek Park in Kansas City, Ma., to help defray the medical care costs for a paraplegic child. Some others who are disabled. Money was raised through donations and from pledges for each mile traveled.
German suffered extensive spinal injury in a car accident in January 1987. He is undergoing therapy in Miami and has spent more than $400,000 on medical bills and various expenses.
The bike journey began at the Pi Kappa Alpha house in Stillwater, Okla. Saturday. Each member traveled about 30 miles, passing the check from rider to rider. The last rider arrived in Kansas City, Mo., yesterday, and the mock check for $4,000 was presented to Bill Duff, who is halfway through a 20-state journey to increase awareness about the capabilities of handcapped people and to raise money.
Duff, who is restricted to a wheelchair, began the 5,000-mile journey in Los Angeles in January and plans to arrive in New York in early July.
The fraternity will send $3,000 to Gorman and $1,000 to the Miami Project, a program at the University dealing in spinal injury research.
David Cavil, Green Bay, Wis. freshman and one of the 12 who traveled a portion of the trip by bicycle, said the house members felt strongly about supporting the needs of their fellow member.
'In order to help Jeff with his
extreme medical costs, we hope to give something back to him for the years he was in the house." Cavil said.
Scott Russell, El Diorado senior and member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, said that the reality of having an accident occur to someone in the living group motivated the house to respond to Gorman's needs.
"I think Jeff's accident really drove home what could happen to you," Russell said. "We never had a fraternity member with that need."
Cavil said that Gorman had made great progress in the rehabilitation center in Miami but that he required more therapy.
"Personally seeing the outcome of this project has been great." Cavil said. "We have been behind Jeff and we will continue to do so in the future."
Russell said that Gorman would be returning to the University next fall and would live in the fraternity house.
