RIDE FOR RICH
November 4 & 5 Plattekill Mtn.


On July 25th Rich was out for a ride with a few friends and broke his bike and himself in two. Rich was taken to the hospital and was paralyzed on arrival. His injuries include:

• Multi fractures to the spine, including shattered vertebras
• Skull fractures (yes, he was wearing his helmet)
• Crushed teeth
• Broken ribs
• Permanent hearing loss in one ear
• no health ins. Mega 6 figure med. bills (ouch)




Rich underwent a 9-hour surgery where a team of surgeons fused his 2nd thru 7th vertebra with a 10 inch-and-a-half screws and two 10-inch titanium rods. Luckily, Rich is not paralyzed and has a hard head, and he is here to prove it. Rich is now at home in HI, dealing with the pain in a full back brace slowly recovering. If you want to call him his # is 808-293-8194 He is bored and would love to hear from people.
