ABOUT RICK BYE, BRIAN DONATO and TARGA

This September, Rick Bye will team up with Brian Donato, the survivor of a spinal cord injury, with the goal of having Donato compete in the 2,200-kilometre Newfoundland Targa road rally race. Their message is a source of inspiration that we wish to share: 

" For brain and spinal cord survivors everywhere, 

together these two outstanding individuals 

send a message that is beyond measure: 

back in the driver's seat, back in control, back into life."

We proudly support our former client, Rick Bye, catastrophic brain injury survivor, and renowned Canadian Racing Champion and Brian Donato, spinal cord injury survivor, in their quest to win the TARGA 2014!
