Denise, you are a very special person to have so much concern and care for your customers. You have the gift of compassion. I will certainly keep Justin, his family, and the doctors and nurses in my prayers. Please keep us updated on his progress when you can. Sending YOU hugs from the Arkies.

I called the hospital yesterday and he is in the pedi ICU.
I'll call his mom today. I didn't feel right calling her yesterday. I'm also going to call the track owners to see if there is anything we can do to help defray the medical costs. I don't know what the insurance situation is, so if there is an issue I'd like to host a benefit. I'm sure Intense would come through for me with donations.
Thanks again all. I'll let you know as soon as I do.
ciao!
Denise

Major healing butterflies headed to Justin, with lots of encouraging and observant butterflies for the family, you and his medical team. Thank you for letting us know, and for taking his bike in to your home - I'm sure she misses him!

You're fabulous, RM! Keep us posted on the fund-raiser and if there's anything we can do, too.

Hugs and huge butterflies,
~T~

I called his mom's cell phone and it dropped me straight to vm. I'm sure it's turned off, and I don't blame her. I'm sure she's been inundated with calls.
Tomorrow I'm going to call the hospital to see make sure he's still in- I'm sure he is- and send something over.
I also left a message for the owners of the track to see if they knew anything. I mentioned that I'd like to help if they are going to do a benefit.

Btw- if you want to see a pic of him, go to estrellamountainbmx.com and there is a pic and bio of him under the local pro's bio.

sigh... I hope I have some news soon. I'm so worried. I stopped in the shop today to grab my bike and his was hanging next to mine. I touched his glove sitting on the handlebar and said a little prayer.. sigh..

Oh, just saw this. Praying hard for Justin and his family and everyone who is working to help them.

RM, please let your friend know good thoughts are being sent from Down under. May Justin heal & go home to his family.

Short story..in 2003(?) Jonnie Waddell (a local Perth guy) was a DH pro racer on the circuit in Quebec & missed a 20 ft drop..2 weeks in a coma, various broken bones, had to relearn everything..He's now one of the top XC racers in Aussie & now back on the Red Bull team..

My heart goes out to his family. I send good healing vibes their way.
Going to wipe a "parental" sympathizing tear from my eye...

May strength go to his Mom in this time of uncertainty!

[solobiker]

Keep strong Justin. More positive energy your way..

Hi Denise

I have only just read this, how awful.

Am sending everything I can, so prayers, hopes and hugs for all from the UK.

If any fund is set up, PM me in case I do not see it and I will gladly contribute.

So how is this for a small world??
Today a customer came in with a shirt on from the hospital that he's in.
I mentioned Justin and what was going on with him and she had him in her area today!! Whatever dept she works in was the dept he was in for testing. I asked her to take good care of him.
She was a sweet caring lady, and I have no doubt that she will.
small small world!
