THIS ENDEAVOR WAS HELD TO SHOW PEOPLE, THOSE WITH AND THOSE WITHOUT DISABILITIES, WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION, AS WELL AS TO INSPIRE THOSE WITH DISABILITIES TO WORK TOWARDS INDIVIDUAL HIGHER GOALS IN SPORTS AND IN THEIR EVERY-DAY LIVES. ALONG THE WAY, THIS PERSON GAVE INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES, RECEIVED THE KEYS TO VARIOUS CITIES FROM MAYORS AND OTHER OFFICIALS AND RECEIVED LOCAL AND NATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE. ANOTHER GOAL OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO TURN THIS FILMED JOURNEY INTO A DOCUMENTARY TO HELP THE PUBLIC GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING AND THUS MORE ACCEPTANCE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. AFTER THE TRIP WAS COMPLETED, A MEDIA PUBLICITY TOUR WAS UNDERTAKEN, IN THE HOPE OF RAISING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S GOOD WORKS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE AMOUNT RAISED WAS DISAPPOINTING AND, IN FACT, THE AMOUNT SPENT ON THE CAMPAIGN PUT THE ORGANIZATION INTO A DIRE FINANCIAL CONDITION, ONE THE ORGANIZATION IS STILL WORKING TO RESOLVE. 374866 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 1 1 0 1 CJ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY X ROGER MULLER 9179412676 245 E 44TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10017 ROGER MULLER PRESIDENT, DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 53333 0 0 ROBERT O MULLER TREASURER, DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK NEVINS SECRETARY, DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN E SALMON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TRISHA YUROCHKO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 53333 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 73321 317208 390529 407 407 390936 0 0 407 53333 40000 5333 8000 4229 3172 423 634 365 365 4000 4000 485 485 2000 2000 3362 2354 336 672 2795 2096 280 419 2191 2191 PUSH ACROSS AMERICA 311737 264976 46761 DIVING EXPENSES 50107 50107 FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 33738 33738 TELEPHONE 9497 1425 6173 1899 17975 8545 7693 1737 495814 374866 26603 94345 74861 21640 21481 8637 12695 12844 87556 34484 0 51806 0 51806 X 87556 -17322 0 0 0 0 87556 -17322 87556 34484 -104878 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 75237 139258 164650 284569 390529 1054243 75237 139258 164650 284569 390529 1054243 0 0 0 1054243 1 1 407 409 1 1 407 409 75237 139258 164651 284570 390936 1054652 0.99960 1.00000 0.00040 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 21481 8637 12844 12844 CHARGE CARD PAYABLE 51806 51806 SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2.
