Show Orem-Geneva Times Wednesday, April 25. 1990 Page 12 Wheelchair trek Saturday to Las Vegas By Jeanne Thayne He may do it sitting but Kem Hearne nevertheless is off and running in his quest to gain some exciting benefits for handicapped people. Paralyzed after being hit broadside by a drunk driver in 1984, Kem is through with tears and sorrow. Instead he is filled with enthusiasm. It's thumbs up from now on, he says. Kem is using his natural athletic ath-letic ability and determination to draw attention to his pet project: to establish seven Sunrise Miracle Centers throughout Utah. These will be places where handicapped people can "workout" and where they can be re-educated and rehabilitated. He says there are no such places now except in conjunction with rehabilitation centers and hospitals. hospi-tals. "I don't want to be treated as a patient," he says. "I want to go someplace normal and work out on specially designed equipment for the handicapped." Kem already al-ready has designed several kinds of equipment to go in such places. He would like to see the centers franchised and if possible to be right in with the regular spas or workout centers already established. estab-lished. CHALLENGE RUN Kem will begin his 434 miles miracle run on Saturday at Eagle Monument in Salt Lake City. He will travel to Las Vegas via his wheelchair to raise money and attention for the Kem M.Hearne Education and Rehabilitation Foundation. All pledges will go toward the Sunrise Miracle Centers and will be used to help all head, brain and spine-injured survivors and their families. "We need to get these people back into society," he says. He is hoping businesses, schools, clubs, etc. will put together their own wheelchair team of 15 people (you don't have to be handicapped or in a wheelchair wheel-chair to participate) and pay a registration fee of $25 or $50 in pledges to join in the fun. The initial leg of the trek will be 15 miles North on State Street in SLC from 106th South (South Towne Mall) to the Eagle Gate Monument where he will begin his travel south. Donations and pledges maybe sent to P.O. Box 959, Orem, UT 84059 or call 269-9616 (SLC) or 224-0270 in Orem.

' ........ , , Ifs thumbs up for Kem Hearne of Orem who invites everyone to join him in his 434 miracle challenge run Saturday beginning in Salt Lake City. The trek will raise funds to benefit handicapped people in Utah. Kem's personal rise from tragedy is somewhat of a miracle in itself. He had been a national champion roller skater and runner. run-ner. While serving in the military he was on a team that ran 144 miles. He had won national championships cham-pionships in Texas where he was 2nd in dance and 4th in free style skating. He married, had his own milk delivery company and also worked as a carpenter. He had a baby girl. Then tragedy. After 45 day s in the hospital paralyzed and given little hope, Kem got angry. "One of the doctors at the hospital thought I was the drunk driver. He came into may room and said tjust deal with it punk because that's the way you are going to be for the rest of your life'." That got me mad. I forced my thumb to move. Later he contracted cancer but was able to overcome it. Finding Find-ing a job was the worst thing. "One day I went to 40 places and couldn't find a job. I started crying and didn't stop for eight Orem 19 Renae Goldmg 745 N. 980 W. Orem 20 H.K Pang 1683 N. Main Orem 21 Thomas Spencer 1127 W. 1420 N. Orem 22 HKPang 1683 N.

I wanted to look at my baby's picture pic-ture one more time." Hearne said when he turned his head to look at the photo it gave him courage. It was the turningpoint in his life. However, in 1987 he came home one day to find his wife and baby gone. Although he has not been able to locate them, he says he knows his child will look him up some day. , That's just another one of the dreams Hearne wants to make come true. He's hoping the spirit he feels will be catching and others will support his quest to help the handicapped. He said anyone can join the Challenge Run. You can run, roller-skate, walk, bicycle or skateboard, at least until he hits the freeway south of Provo. A team of clowns already have signed up to help with the cause.
