World Series appearance at Fenway for Adaptive Motorsports & Wellness, shutout....

Adaptive Motorsports & Wellness shut out by legal dept, "World Series will just not be possible but we were thinking maybe this might be a good idea for next year’s Run to Home Base at Fenway Park. Either way, these connections have been great and we are all still brainstorming to see what the next move should be for Home Base and you all (Adaptive Motorsports & Wellness)" said Tommy Furlong Veteran Outreach 
Red Sox Foundation and Home Base Program.

Adaptive Motorsports & Wellness proposed: A)  Dana Bowman sky dive into World Series with HUGE, 7,800 sq ft  American Flag ,B) Adaptive Motorsports & Wellness car positioned on the  field C) Bowman drive world's only "arrive & drive" racecar for disabled Vets & physically challenged civilians off the field.

Hanaford explains casually "No big deal....wasn't meant to be, everything didn't line up for us, maybe we'll do the Super Bowl, Daytona 500 or Indy 500....never know the bigger plan, just keep doing right thing - at the right time - for right reason and be ready for that magic moment to happen."


Dana Bowman, Sargent First Class (R) from US Special Forces & Golden Knights, SFC (R) Bowman shares a story of triumph of the human spirit. Dana's tragedy over 10 years ago took the life of his teammate and both of his legs. His inspiring story has been on over 250 International and National TV shows, he is also member of the National Speakers Bureau sharing key note addresses to the Corporate world, Universities & Schools. 

Bowman & Halo For Freedom Warrior Foundation will descend out of the sky,  then climb behind the wheel of Accessible Racing's NASCAR style "Arrive & Drive".  "Duno what track we'll visit next; Texas, Daytona, Charlotte are just as close to our New Hampshire based program as Tom Curley's American Canadian Tour or Lee USA Speedway" 

"The name is familiar, he had a great story and it is always nice hearing veterans speak. I believe we beat William and Mary for the first time in 13 or so years after he spoke" 
-Tim Farina UNH Wildcats Football team.

Accessible Racing has offered dozens of disabled persons – including many former members of the United States military – to experience the freedom, hope and opportunity of driving an actual race car, providing incentive for them to improve the quality of their lives and continue to reintegrate into society. Bowman - Hanaford and Racing For Education are prime example of what the program is all about; providing a road map to recovery for newly disabled persons to see, believe and achieve.

 Racing for Education relationship will share modify a couple Karts and show how important it is to you to inspire change, and  access disabled community with life changing opportunities to resonates with kids and improve quality of life through physics, math and high school accredited varsity sport,  Kart racing. 

Adaptive Motorsports & Wellness plans to reach out to a TV Journalist Wounded in Iraq War: ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff was accompanying Adm. Mike Mullen,  chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,  when struck by  a roadside bomb -suffered severe brain trauma and spent more than a month in a medically induced coma.  Woodruff is perhaps the highest -profile member of the news media to be wounded, injuries mirror the experiences of so many wounded war veterans -life was split into before-and-after parts by a bomb. 

Woodruff returned to television work with a prime-time documentary about his recovery and the struggles of soldiers with traumatic brain injury and has sought to keep a spotlight on Iraq, and especially on the soldiers who experience traumatic brain injury and combat stress sometimes called the “signature injury” of the Iraq war.

SFC (R) Bowman said, "go ahead - book us. If ya want we'll jump into the World Series in Boston if you can get your car on the field! We just had an event in Pa and we couldn't jump because of the weather, i gave a little pep talk and the guys where playing another team they hadn't beaten in 40 years! They wanted me to go out and call the coing flip, they won that but to be honest the other team was twice their size, but guess what? Ya they won and when i left they thought i was god, but it was all inside them!"
