All donations go towards obtaining a chair for Korijo.

Dave, (or "Korijo" as he is known on the 914world.com BBS), has ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

He is 28. ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness resulting in paralysis.
To learn more about this devastating disease go to this site www.lougehrigsdisease.net

Dave's married to Kori and they have 2 little kids: Keone David is 18 months old and Elijah David is 1 month old.
Dave was a sponsored skateboarder and worked construction.

Now, due to being stricken with ALS, he uses his time by playing with his sons and working on his 914 with the help of fellow 914world.com members Chris Reale & Geoff (Bleyseng) along with a few others in the Seattle area.
ALS has brought him to the point of barely being able to use his hands & arms.

He was turned onto the 914 because he was a VW lover and found out that 914s are based on a VW.
He found his 914 on ebay, bought it, then he and a friend drove it back to Seattle, where he began its restoration into an Auto Cross car for his children.
His desire is to leave his children a legacy.
He also has a Bug that has been fully restored and is quite stunning to look at.

Chris has helped Dave out with electrical stuff like lights, dropped his engine and split the case (Bleyseng helped split the case as well) and with suspension stuff.
Geoff (Bleyseng) has welded in a new floor pan, battery tray and engine shelf.

While being consumed by the 914 bug, he naturally has parts all over the house, some of which Keone likes to get into and play with.
Keone had a full roll cage in his room, something most kids cannot claim to have had!
His wife, Kori is originally from Oregon, and is a sweet person, and has quite a bit of patience with Dave and his car parts.

With as many close knit members in the 914Club (500+), all it would take is a small donation from each of us to help Dave (Korijo) get his chair in no time flat, and time is something he doesn't have much of.
