AmericanTown's Heros: Neil Barber is a Hero to Many Families

"Families, teams and communities are very much alike. They all involve people banding together with common goals of support and success. This hero story is about a member of a family and a team and a community and how they all come together. Neil Barber was "thrown a curve ball," as his father says. At the age of 16 and a rising lacrosse star, he became mentally challenged and was eventually diagnosed and hospitalized for Schizophrenia. Barber's family was there for him, as were his friends and teammates".

Our team, "Neil's Wheels" joined forces with the Port Washington team, "Student Voices Loud & Proud" in the annual NAMI WALK to raise money needed to educate all of us on how we can help the 25% of our population that suffer from some form of Brain Disorders. Over $200,000 was raised on a beautiful day at Jones Beach.

Weber Middle School in Port Washington did a Food Fund Raiser for Thanksgiving for Neil's Wheels NY.
Their food went to a local Food Cooperative in Port Washington, Twin Pines. We received over 400 cans of Food from the middle school students. Neil Thanks Weber Middle School!!!!!
We collected well over 600 cans of food at the final barbecue/dance at Manhasset Middle School. In a driving rainstorm, 290 kids showed up and several students made jewelry for Neil's Wheels and they brought in $63 which will mean approx. 63 more cans of food.

We have donated over 40,000 cans so far!!!!!
