Bacon Cares.
Bacon Skateboards has donated 20 custom decks for the physical therapy of Matt Hankey.
Hankey was 16 years old when he suffered a stroke that had serious repercussions. Matt was an up and coming skateboarder in the Medford, OR area.
With the help of Bacon Skateboards, Hankey is raising money to fund his hydrotherapy. With the hydrotherapy he has a real chance of leaving the wheelchair behind and regaining most of his physical mobility.
Jack's Board House is selling 'Hope For Hankey' decks as a way of helping thier own.
