Known as "World Record Ron," website:worldrecordron.com and Instagram: he is wanting to fulfill a new record. It’s a bucket list record if you will: "Most sugar glass breakaway longneck beer bottles broken over the head in 30 seconds” Goal is to break at least 60 bottles! This attempt will be Guinness World Record number 50!

He will be joined by longtime friend and Stuntmen’s Association elite member, Vince Deadrick Jr. () and it will be documented and filmed and then shared in the future for all to see! Event will take place at Action Factory. Instagram

Funds from this campaign will help Ron out with medical treatments and surgical expenses, and to assist in his passion for breaking world records, which seems to be the best ‘medicine’ for Ron.

STUNT STRIKE DAY!!!
Thursday, July 27th
There will be a two prong approach - motorcycle brigade and boots on the ground
The stunt strike day is for the entire stunt community so wear your stunt shirts and hats and get the word out!!!!

MOTORCYCLE BRIGADE
Time, Location & Route TBD
There will be a Stunt Strike Ride across town, hitting all the picket lines. It's currently in the planning stages, if you are interested please email [email protected] a nd you will be emailed information as it becomes available.

Notes about the ride:

SAFETY
All laws and picket line protocols will be STRICTLY enforced. NO stunting, tricks, speeding, stopping traffic or anything illegal!!! The eyes of the world are upon us and any injuries or incidents with police will GREATLY diminish our message and reflect badly on the stunt community and entire SAG AFTRA membership.

SIGNAGE
This is a mobile picket line - if you are able, please put signage on your bike or body so everyone knows that this is about as we trek across town. At your local hardware store you can find all kinds of inexpensive DIY flag poles (garden stick, paint stirrer, etc) to zip-tie and duck tape to your bike (make sure it’s secure!). There will be some laminated signs at the event that you can zip-tie to your pole if you don’t make your own stunt strike flag.

ORGANIZATION
We are looking for volunteers to help keep the ride organized and photographers/videographers to document this historic strike! Please email [email protected] to volunteer.

PICKET LINE
9 a.m. - noon

SAG Check-in: Gate 3, 4201 W Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91522
It's hot out there! One idea to keep cool is to put your strike message on an umbrella.
Please rsvp to [email protected] so we can estimate the crowd size - we hope it's HUGE!!!!

PARKING:
Streets:
2-hour parking in the residential areas across the street from the studio
Garages:
3500 W Olive Ave, 3 min. from picket ($13/day)

A message from our wonderful Vice President . We love you Elle. We appreciate any one that can help, no matter how small the donation. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Gofundme link in bio.

I wanted to let my friends and stunt family know of my current situation. I have been doing stunts and acting for over 25 years. I've unfortunately had to stop working and am now permanently disabled due to a diagnosis of a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy called OPMD. It affects my arms, legs, balance, strength, swallowing, vision as well as many other issues. I have slowed down and did not know that the extent of what was happening was all due to the OPMD. I have told the girls in my group, the Stuntwomen's Association, at our meeting last month. I will continue as VP (as they have graciously voted me in again), for the remaining year, even though I can not do stunts anymore. It has been and still is very hard right now as every part of my day is affected in some way by this disease. It's hard to come to grips with this new situation. Not being able to do stunts or acting anymore is a very hard blow. As an athlete, not being able to play sports is devastating as well. Anyway, I'm sharing this because I want people to know why I can't work anymore. I wanted to make sure all my friends and stunt community knows. As hard as it is to put this down on paper, it's even hard for me to tell people on the phone or in person. Please share this with my other friends in the stunt community. It's easier for me to let everyone know that way. Thank you! Elle
