J-Rob Foundation

J-Rob Foundation The J-Rob Foundation, Inc. is a 501c3 that provides adaptive sporting equipment to youths with medic

Our goal is to provide youths who are physically challenged the opportunity to participate in sporting and athletic opportunities by providing them with the equipment that they need. For a child who cannot ride a standard bicycle there are hand cycles. For a child who would like to participate in races (both road or short distances) there are racing wheelchairs. For a child who would like to ski--

many forms of adaptive ski equipment exists, including but not limited to bi-skis and mono skis. These are just a few of the examples of the adaptive equipment that is out there. This equipment is generally very expensive and is not an expense that an average family can generally afford. Generally speaking children don't qualify for grant funding as they outgrow the equipment. We would like to provide opportunities for children to have access to the equipment that they need to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle and enjoy sports and athletics!!!

For 10 years, Medicare rules have forced wheelchair users to pay the full cost of a carbon fiber or titanium frame out of pocket.

But on July 20, the House passed a fix.

The Choices for Increased Mobility Act (H.R. 1703/S. 247) requires Medicare to create billing codes so you pay only the difference for an ultralight frame. It costs taxpayers nothing.

The bill moved because of advocates like you, who put it in front of their representatives at this year’s Roll on Capitol Hill.

We're halfway there. The Senate is next, and Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R) and Tammy Duckworth (D) are already sponsoring it. Your Senators need to hear from you today.

Message your Senators in two minutes through our Action Alert.
