An Appeal For Seth Jackson
July 12, 2012
Friends, we
have found a very exciting exercise machine that is ideal for helping Seth to
build and maintain muscle mass in his legs.
Besides this considerable benefit, this machine is excellent for
building back strength, which is critical with Seth’s present battle with
spinal curvature (a condition that has developed due to a wheelchair
malfunction which has since been corrected).
It is called the Cardio Strider 2, and costs about $2000.00, and there
is one available at a store here in Cedar Rapids.
That’s the good news. Now for
the bad news.
We
don’t have enough money to purchase this unit.
The Seth Fund at River of Life Ministries had $1100, so we have
withdrawn it with the hope of receiving at least $900 more dollars from friends
such as yourself, thus enabling us to obtain this machine for Seth’s
development toward walking again.
Some of you may remember how far we had come until
we had to curtail Seth’s exercises due to a serious pressure sore in the waning
months of 2011. He was able to move
both his legs in an outward motion, and he had just started moving his left
foot. Since the sore, though, we have
lost a lot of ground. We would love to
be able to see Seth catch up faster and go even further through the use of the
Cardio Strider 2.
Please take the time right now to give whatever
you are able for helping Seth’s quest for recovery. We need your generosity - especially now! Any amount - from a few dollars to the full
$900 - would be so incredibly appreciated by Seth and his family.
The
Cardio Strider 2 enables Seth to place his feet on the two platforms, set
securely in an adjustable seat, and by moving the upright levers with his hands
simulate the act of walking. By using
this machine, Seth would be able to do many more repetitions on a regular
schedule than is presently done with human assistants, and would solve several
major exercising issues. See
