Lehman Trikes proudly announces that Jon Brough of Belleville, IL is the 2008 Good Turn Trike recipient. Jon and his wife Wendy had their world changed forever on November 10, 2006 when Jon, a police officer, was shot in the face with a 12-gauge shotgun. Jon's survival was uncertain and, in addition to losing his sight, much of his face had to be surgically reconstructed. Jon still has numerous surgeries in his future; but, he doesn't let that effect the way he lives his life. He is bright, funny and still fulfills numerous speaking engagements every year. Jon is one of those rare, unique, and brave individuals who risked his life and paid a high price while serving as a police officer.
The Good Turn Trike is an annual program sponsored by Lehman Trikes that converts the recipient's motorcycle into a trike. The recipient normally can no longer ride a two-wheeled motorcycle due to an injury and/or illness. Annually, applications for the program are accepted by Lehman Trikes until the first week of April. Applications are available at Lehman dealers and Lehman Trikes website, www.lehmantrikes.com. Applications are reviewed by an anonymous panel and a recipient is then selected.
Niehaus Cycle Sales, Inc. in Litchfield, IL, an authorized Lehman Trike dealer, is doing the conversion on Jon's new black 2008 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing. The new motorcycle was purchased with funds collected by the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, Inc. and specifically through the hard work of Illinois Chapter 14. Jon and Wendy will take possession of the trike on August 23, 2008 at a celebration ceremony at Niehaus Cycle Sales, Inc. Wendy will be driving the trike once it is completed and she and Jon look forward to riding many miles together.
Dan Patterson, CEO of Lehman Trikes stated, "Lehman's proudest moments are measured by the smiles we put on the faces of our Good Turn Trike recipients. We are proud to say that we are the only trike company in the industry to have such a program and we truly receive much more than we give as a result of our philanthropic endeavors. Good Turn Trike gives us the opportunity to help an individual like Jon, who possesses such zest for living. He indeed is a wonderful inspiration to all of us. Lehman Trikes is proud of its role in making sure that Jon once again will enjoy riding with the wind and sun on his face."
