Prayers

"Our hearts and prayers go out to Kim and Dave and their families tonight! As most of you have probably heard, Kim was in an accident tonight. She has been flown to Utah Valley Medical Center, Dave is up there with her. We will try to keep you updated when we hear anything-hopefully everyone will do the same. Last we heard was she had some bleeding in her brain...that is why they took her up north. She had a broken scapula and fracture in her sacrum. She had a little damage (some broken bones) around her right eye and a few scrapes on her face and body. I hope I didn't get anything wrong. Thanks to everyone for all their help and concern. I'm sure they really appreciate it!Dave and Kim-we love you guys and wish we could be there with you."

Yeserday was a sobering experience for everyone that was involved. It is hard to see a friend and person that you love experience something like this. I know that road biking is dangerous, but you kind of feel like you are indestrucable when you are out there riding especially when it is a loop that you have done many times before. I just keep thinking how could this of happened. These are two of the kindest people in the world. They don't deserve this. No one does. Kim's injuries are terrible, but this could have been a lot worse if she wasn't wearing a helmet. When she went down all of the impact was to her head. I can't imagine what would be going on right now if there was no helmet. Kim and Dave we love you both so much and you will be in our hearts and prayers everyday.

That's so sad about Kim! Austin made it sound like it was such a freak accident. Hopefully she'll be able to fully recover and be riding again soon with you guys.
