Description

Hello friends and Fellow Cyclists,

On Wednesday August 10th my best friend & bicycle messenger Carly was en route from a delivery at work when under unknown circumstances was in a serious bicycle accident. She was rushed in critical condition to the intensive care unit at St Francis after sufferring a serious head injury and a seizure. For three days she remained in the ICU until she was able to breathe on her own and was stable enough to move to a normal room. We brought her home last night (thank god) after she did well enough in phys/speech therapy that the doctors and neurologists felt she would do well to recover at home.
Due to her Ischemia in her right frontal lobe and the high risk of seizure, Carly has been told that she will not be able to ride a bicycle for at least 6-12 mos. Bicycling is the most important thing to Carly in her life and to receive this kind of news was the most shocking thing she could be told after surviving this ordeal.

after speaking with her doctor, he told us that she could get away with it in time if she rode an adult trike with a helmet- nothing less. So this benefit show's proceeds with go to the costs of medical and (hopefully) an adult tricycle for our sweet little bike messenger.

We hope you will have big hearts and join us in celebrating and supporting Carly's recovery. (Carly is an active day-to-day member of the chainlink, too).

Best,
Rachael
