Oct 2007 a young 17 year old named Aaron Horsley was run over and drug for a block by a hit & run driver. Aaron is now paralyzed from the waist down but still wants to ride his bike. In a selfless act a custom car builder and District 37 desert racer named Scott Norton took up the cause to customize and restore Aarons bike so he could ride once again. He contacted Ricky James's father and asked what he should do to make Aaron's bike ridable for Aaron. Scott then started posting for product donations on the District 37 message boards to help with the restoration of Aarons bike.

If you do a search on the Dist 37 boards of Aaron Horsleys name you find a few threads from day one to present on Aaron's story.

Here are two threads where the bike restoration story started and where it stands today.

It's really nice what D37 is trying to do for Aaron. RiderDown has been in touch with him since shortly after his crash and talking with his Physical Therapists also. Walker will probably chime in here as he has had the most contact with him.
