Zach, age 9, from Irwin, was born with spina bifida, a neurotube defect that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He is able to walk with the aid of braces and crutches, but now he is able to wheel around too in his flashy, bright orange, specially-adapted handcycle provided by Variety the Children's Charity.

By participating in the Wheelchair Grand Prix event, you can help more kids like Zach - kids with cerebral palsy, autism, muscular dystrophy, and mental retardation - to get the mobility equipment they need. Go the distance for Zach and other very special kids so they can lead fuller and more productive lives.
