Harley Enthusiast Steve Chamberland: I’ll Hand out 50 Legs in 50 Weeks

(Tampa, FL) – Steve Chamberland knows first hand that the size of a motorcycle enthusiast’s heart is as big as the open country on which he rides. Now he’s going to prove it with his own actions.

Professional wrestler, gold medal-winning shot putter and Harley-Davidson maven Chamberland is putting a call out to those who need prosthetic legs: Be part of my “50 Legs in 50 Weeks” project.

Chamberland lost his own leg in a horrific motorcycle accident, but that hasn’t stopped him from enjoying the thrill of riding, nor has it lessened his enthusiasm for big bikes like a Harley.

“I can’t imagine my life without motorcycles, despite what happened to me,” Chamberland says. “My life on the open road has given me way more enjoyment than sadness.”

All that passion and love for motorcycles is being channeled into Chamberland’s project, where he wants to provide 50 prosthetic legs to those in need, in 50 weeks. He plans on touring the country, learning of people’s stories.

Once selected by Chamberland, 50 lucky individuals will have prosthetic legs designed and built by his staff and him.

Chamberland also plans to videotape each of the 50 recipients as they go through the process to receive their new legs. He also wouldn’t rule out turning the project into a Reality TV series.

“This isn’t a stunt-it’s a real way to help real people in need,” Chamberland says. “It’s also a way to bring awareness to the fact that people with prosthetics can lead prosperous, fulfilling lives.”

Chamberland says the search is on for sponsors to provide funding for the bus he and his staff will need to tour the country.
