The Great American Bike Race (GABR)

The Great American Bike Race or GABR is just around the corner!!! I'm freaking out a little bit because a certain someone who shell remain nameless has not put my bike on the trainer downstairs and the race is about eight days away.



Thousands of people come out for this great cause. 

Many of my friends already know what GABR is and have helped us out a great deal but for those of you who have never heard of this great cause I will explain.  GABR is a stationary bike Race that raises money for individual with Cerebral Palsy and other related disabilities.  Living with a disability can be very difficult; there are many things that we may need that insurance wont pay for; such as therapies and equipment like wheelchairs and ankle braces. They also help pay for to Drs. Appointments and other thing that can make kids more independent and their lives more enjoyable.

Never Letting a Disability Define Who You Are

My name is Jacey Enget I’m 20 years old and was born with Spastic Cerebral Palsy.  You might think that having Cerebral Palsy and being in a wheelchair cause me to think that I can’t do things that an able bodied person can do.  I am here to tell you that that is not the case; I have been by many that I probably do more than most people.  When I was growing up my parents taught me to never let my disability stop me, let me tell you I have tae advice in stride.

            Believe me when I say that with every disability comes a few hurdles to jump over but that is one thing that after twenty almost twenty-one years you just learn to deal with.  I am a down hill skier, a water skier a hunter and an independent horseback rider just to name a few things.  All of these things are done with adaptive equipment but that doesn’t matter to me or does it matter other individuals with disabilities what matters is that we can do them.

            When I was younger all I wanted to do was play games and play with my friends, I didn’t like going to therapies doing my exercises, or having surgeries (sill don’t like having surgeries) but as I got older I realized how important these were for maintaining my health and would make thing easier later in life. I would like to thank all the people that have helped make things easier for me GABR, Drs, my PT & OT, my parents and all three of my siblings and the rest of my family and friends for making it possible.
