In June of 2006, Bret Neylon was involved in a biking accident that resulted in the fracture of his C4 vertebrae.

Tragically, in August of 2007, another member of our Brownsburg community endured a similar accident; John Wassen is a carpenter, husband and father who fell while working on the second story of a home. He sustained a fracture to his C5. Both Bret and John have shown the world how to continue living even through adversity. Please join us in our 3 rd Annual Bret Neylon Race to Recovery on July 26 th, 2008. This year’s benefit race will raise money for both Bret and John, to assist with spinal cord rehabilitation and continuing medical costs for both gentlemen. Thank you in advance for your continued support and prayers for both of these extraordinary individuals!
