Mobility Through Grace is a 501 c (3) non-profit organization that was formed to honor Tom Tykodi. On May 6th, 2012, Tom was ejected from his bicycle while riding on a rural road near his home. The force of the fall resulted in breaking three vertebrae in his neck and leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Tom was wearing a helmet and was very fortunate that he did not suffer any brain injury.
Tom has always enjoyed being physically active as well as an active part in philanthropic organizations that benefits others. Tom will be the first to experience the Drag Racing Ride-Along this spring and is excited about assisting others with disabilities via Mobility Through Grace. The donations received through this program will offset the expenses of the Assistive Technologies (wheel chairs, stair lifts, home access ramps, etc.) that recently disabled people require as they leave rehabilitation and begin to transition into their new lives. Each recipient will also be given guidance in fund raising programs and be introduced to The Adaptive Adventure Sports Coalition (TAASC).
