Most people encounter small bumps on the road of life. I encountered a hillside. The airplane that I was riding in crashed nose first, almost killing me. What happened over the next 20 years lead me to start mindsdomatter.
Untill the crash I was a normal healthy person. After the crash I spent years recovering from both work and crash injuries. When I was well enough to leave my house, I went to the Dept of Rehab. After a long testing period, I was given a chance to go to Cal. State Univ. San Bernardino. The University was well equipped to handle disabled students, so life to me really had not changed. Untill I graduated. Then my real education began.
When I started looking for work, I did all the right things to do. I started getting responses, interviews, even being told welcome aboard. Yet nothing happened. It was like I fell of the face of the earth. So, I started asking questions, and what I learned was, this was normal for disabled people. Not just because of the economy, unemployment is high because it is accepted. How can I make this statement.
80 to 85 percent unemployment among disabled persons. That is unreal, unacceptable, and someone needs to say something. That is what I entend to do. How?
I started a grass roots movement at Cal State Univ. San Bernardino. The University and I realized that this is something that needs to be addressed. So with their help I am going on a media and college tour. My friends at B&B motorcycles made it possible to get the right bike to use. I am going to ride my bike from Santa Monica Cal to Chicago Ill. I will speak to all types of media. Radio, T.V., etc. I will also make stops at major universities along the way.
It takes a lot to do this. I need your help. Please help me help others.
