Give Mike Brown A Chance to Walk Again

Eddie Cole, long-time friend and supporter of Mike Brown is taking donations for an artificial leg for Mike.


Mike was injured on June 5, 1999, at a Twin Falls, Idaho, freestyle dirt-bike competition. Because of a series of miscalculations and a slick, wet surface, Mike failed the jump and nearly lost his life. He suffered from broken ribs and punctured lungs, a stretched brainstem, compound fracture of his right femur, and the amputation of his left femur.


Mike's original artificial leg failed to give basic stability and was ultimately deemed unfit by health care providers, Mike was falling more than walking and — in his own words — "was afraid to use it." The prescribed prosthesis has a price tag of $50,000, which does not include therapy and follow-up care.


Despite being in a wheelchair, Mike remains very committed to the sport and helping others. You can often see him visiting Southern California tracks where he's always eager to offer tips to riders of all ages.


All donations should be made payable to Good Samaritan Ministries and mailed (via post) to: Eddie Cole
