Darrell Gwynn Autographed Piston Clock
Started in 2002, the Darrell Gwynn Foundation exists to prevent, provide for and ultimately cure spinal cord injuries and other debilitating illnesses. To expedite specific cures, the Foundation assists in the funding of targeted research. The Foundation helps improve the quality of life for those already afflicted with injury or illness, by providing necessary equipment or special services. It is also dedicated to injury prevention, with special emphasis on programs targeting children. In 1990 Darrell Gwynn was at the height of his career as a professional top fuel dragster race car driver. Then, on a test run in England, an accident -- a freak one by racing standards --left him paralyzed with a devastating spinal cord injury. A number of years have passed since the fateful day he was paralyzed. In that time, his compassion for victims of spinal cord injuries, and respect for the families and friends of those standing behind them has grown immeasurably. Darrell has learned that hope, encouragement and determination aided by education, are among the keys in creating a meaningful, satisfying life despite physical obstacles. Donated by the Darrell Gwynn Foundation
