Dustin Grice Takes The Link Foundation To China

November 2, 2014

Once again our great friend and Link Family member has gone above and beyond anything we could have thought of ourselves. Promoting the message of connection and Link-ing up folks at the FISE BMX event in China. FISE or Festival International des Sports Extrèmes, attracts millions of fans and viewers all over the world. On his visit Dustin even managed to get a few Pandas Link-ed up with Pet Links and represented our charity at The Great Wall Of China, which we all know can be seen from space! Thanks again for bringing us all along Dustin.

….sometimes you just need a little help from your friends, and other times you make new friends during a very difficult time. This is what happened to our family when our son, Brett Banasiewicz, suffered a traumatic brain injury on his BMX bike on August 23, 2011. Dustin Grice is one of Brett’s BMX buddies that reached out to us about the Link Foundation. Jeff Troldahl, founder of the Link Foundation, and Dustin Grice designed a “Maddog” bracelet with Brett’s signature colors pink and green. The Link Foundation sold many bracelets via the internet and also allowed us to sell the bracelets at Brett’s BMX Skate Park. The proceeds went to Brett’s mounting medical bills. Brett was able to obtain the best care in the United States that also included hyperbarics. Brett had to relocate to Texas because the state of Indiana is not licensed to administer hyperbarics for TBI’s..
