The totals are in from Sam Schmidt's Conquer Paralysis Now Gala held in the days prior to the 101st Indianapolis 500, and $501,500 was raised during the "Dancing to Recover" benefit.
"Having the event attached to the 101st running of the Indy 500, and in close proximity to the racing community, was a huge success," the IndyCar team owner said of the 18th annual fundraiser. "I personally want to thank everyone for their generosity and belief in our ambitious goals. We are more determined than ever to find a cure for paralysis thanks to your support."
Formed in 2000, the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation (which changed its title to Conquer Paralysis Now in 2014) has raised millions of dollars to facilitate medical research to overcome paralysis, and to aid those in need of support.
"Each year in May, the Indianapolis community and IndyCar drivers join together to support this important fundraiser with a goal to cure paralysis," said CPN executive director Craig Williams. "We are very grateful to all of our supporters, including our primary Gala sponsors, Arrow Electronics and American Honda Motor Company. With their continued support, we are able to fund the efforts of researchers and scientists who are moving ever closer to significant breakthroughs in spinal cord injuries."
According to CPN, which serves as one of the most active IndyCar-related charities, the distribution of Gala donation funds continues within the research community.
"Stage 1, Rounds 1 and 2 CPN Challenge prizes of $1.2 million have already been awarded to 14 researchers for their unconventional, disruptive approaches," it wrote. "One of the research grants awarded by CPN this past year was to one of the gala guests, Dr. Samy Meroueh, of the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute at the Indiana University School of Medicine. CPN also awarded grants to Dr. Ann Parr and Dr. Michael McAlpine at the University of Minnesota collaborating with Dr. Susan Cerqueira, University of Miami. The $100,000 research grant was awarded as part of the CPN Challenge's Lone Star Foundation Collaboration Award."

Welcome back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp0LYc4IHnY

Vietnam veterans were stereotyped and demonized to such a great extent that even the widows of deceased servicemen received late-night harassing phone calls. It has been said by some that at no point in our country's history have our veterans been hurt more by our own countrymen than by the enemy. For many vets, the homecoming was often a powerful first encounter that made their adjustment to civilian society more difficult. This is the story of a Kentucky base that felt it was time to give these veterans the welcome home they never received. Produced, shot and edited by Dave Annarino.

Soldier adopts dog that saved his life

While serving in Afghanistan, U.S. military combat dog Layka was shot four times by the enemy at point-blank range. Despite her injuries, she still attacked and subdued the shooter, saving her handler and the other members of the team. Seven hours of surgery and the amputation of one leg saved her life. Her handler, Staff Sgt. Julian McDonald, fought hard to adopt her and she's now become a part of his family.

Myriam Nicole

On a track that seemed to have the thumbs up from every pro racing here this weekend, the DH World Cup finals in Vallnord, Andorra delivered up a modern classic. A slight rain drizzle punctuated the afternoon's racing, but the course rode perfectly and didn't dampen the spirits of the watching crowd or the riders.

Myriam Nicole had more than just the pressure of the race on her shoulders when she left the start hut. With the global headquarters of her bike sponsor, Commencal, just yards from the finish line and with family and friends in the crowd, this was an important race for the French rider and she delivered with the best time of the day.
