Ryan Hudson Peralta

Ryan is the original website designer and a very special person. Ryan heard of Hoby's mission and knew he had to help. Ryan donated his and his companys time and talents to design the original website (replaced by this one) and the flash intro that we still use. What makes this so special is that Ryan is 25 years old, disabled—with arms to his elbows, no hands and his legs are shortened.

"Ryan has done so much more for Come Join The Ride than just create the original website." says Hoby. "He has inspired me and many others to push on in life, no matter what."
|
His dream is to become an actor and motivational speaker. Even with his disability, Ryan has accomplished so much. He knows that there are thousands of kids whom never dream of their future, as they know they might not have one. Ryan had to help! He started the ride with Hoby the summer '02 on a modified ski built just for him. He was also there to meet Hoby on his journey back. He showed the world that if he can ride that ski, then the world can join together to help kids! To learn more about Ryan, you can visit his personal web site.
