In 1998 Charlie Parkhill suffered a life changing accident from an ocean wave, while vacationing in Mexico with his wife. The resulting incomplete spinal cord injury left him motionless from the neck down. He decided to make physical rehabilitation his single focus. https://www.therecoveryproject.net/our_story.html

Be Easy Paraplegic Fund Hello everyone! My name is Jordan Rolon, I am a brother of Alpha Gamma Rho at Penn State University. I currently hold the position of Philanthropy Chair for our fraternity and I could not be happier to have our philanthropy benefit the "Be Easy" Paraplegic Fund. This is a fund that I created for a young man named Ben Alessi (who's story you can read in the "The Cause" tab). We have received an overwhelming amount of support for our event. We have items donated from Tim McGraw, Jesse McCartney, Faith Hill, the Zac Brown Band and hopefully have many more supporters to come. We want to thank you for your support in changing Ben's life forever!
