LARPD Board Candiate Bob Fourwheelbob Coomber

Livermore has one of the BEST Park and Rec department hands down. According to LARPD's website, ""The mission of the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District is to provide the people of this area with an outstanding system of parks, recreation areas and facilities, along with providing recreation programs that will stimulate, educate and enrich the lives of people within the District."

I know for our family their programs have been a great opportunity to explore life and try things at a reasonable or no cost.

However with all great organizations, they can be even better.

LARPD Board has an election this year and with great pleasure it is a privilege to say we know and fully endorse one of the candidates Bob Fourwheelbob Coomber.

We got to know Bob when we participated in the American Cancer Society Relay of Life of Livermore this year. I remember the first night we were at a Team Captain meeting and we were standing next to Bob. Emma was with me and I do not think she had ever been next to someone in a wheelchair for long periods. Bob let Emma explore the chair, the wheels and satisfied her general curiosity with such a gentleness. I was in awe.

On his website there is a quote, "Let me introduce you to one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. His name is Bob Coomber, but the hiking and backpacking world know him as simply, 4WheelBob. Every trail he takes, every mountain he climbs he inspires those he meets to reach deep inside themselves and take a fresh look at life. His is a story of grueling defeats and uplifting journeys."

Now this talks about the man, however does what he does. Try googling Bobs's name and he is the essence of anyone of anyone who should be on the LARPD Board.

Right now Bob is involved with East Bay Regional Park District’s
Hiking Adventures and each month, he "offers several lively write-ups on his favorite East Bay Regional Park District hiking trails. Half of his hikes will be geared toward relatively flat options with easy access, perfect for those with mobility devices, strollers, young kids on bikes, anyone really, who would simply like to explore the outdoors on a flat trail. The other half of his hikes are more challenging – he is, after all, the only person to climb 14,000’ White Mountain in a wheelchair. These challenge hikes include longer distances and higher elevations. No matter what you’re looking for, Bob is sure to have an option, and story, for you."

I truly hope as the election moves forward and when it comes time to vote, your decision will be for Bob. Don't just take my word for let, get to know Bob, he can be reached at bob@4wheelbob.com.

Note: I did not get paid or benefited from this personal endorsement. I truly believe in Bob, so let's get him elected.
