Advocates from Neil's home town of Manhasset started a petition to get Lacrosse back into the 2024 Olympics. The most famous supporter of the petition is Jim Brown, who graduated from Manhasset, and is not only considered to be one of the greatest football players to have played in the NFL, but also one of the greatest Lacrosse players.
What is even more inspiring is that Neil's Wheels was chosen by the organizing group for the Lacrosse inclusion into the 2024 Olympics, to represent the Manhasset Community, for the good works Neil has brought about that help feed those in the community and for giving people a forum for discussing mental health issues.
