Backbones Online

You will have a blast making a goof out of yourself and your mates while learning valuable stuff about what spinal cord injury (SCI) is and what it’s like to live with a disability. Don’t expect to know it all at the end of the hunt, this is the condensed version of your SCI education; Cliff’s Notes, if you will. It’s up to you to take the next step, learn more and educate others. We know you will because when you become a BACKBONE, it’s what you do…be cool!

At least 1-2 people must use a wheelchair at ALL times during the hunt. “Huh? We have to use wheelchairs?” Yup. Yes you do. In case you didn’t get the memo, wheelchairs are pretty bad-ass… and most importantly, SEXY!  If you do not use a wheelchair as part of your day to day life, we will find you one and loan it to you. Be nice to the wheelchair, it’s not yours!

Dress comfortably! Wear comfy shoes and your good underwear, this hunt will last more than an hour.

Document all your moves! You can bring just about anything: computer, GPS, compass, maps, money, public transit day pass. No rollerblades or skateboards- Just wheelchairs!
