Friends - Dan hit a deer on his way into work this morning. He is pretty beat-up with road rash and a broken leg that is going to require surgery to repair. His "new" bike is a total loss. He's coherent, but in a great deal of pain, and he is going to be dealing with some major life issues in the near-term. His wife is 9 days removed from some major surgery herself and they need the prayers and support of our biker community.
In the spirit of fellowship, I have created a Indiegogo page to help Dan and his wife get through this rough patch. I've put up $50 already with a short-term goal of $500 to help out a fellow biker and contributor to this forum. If you so feel inclined, I ask that you help them out.
No (yes) I am not trying to guilt you into it, but I know that 5 years ago, it would have helped me tremendously. I now wish to help out not only a friend, but someone who is truly a great guy who has had his own trials and tribulations the last few years and was just getting solid again.

I know that his posts here have helped others through the years, and even a $1 donation is nothing minor. I've been known to drop $20 into the Red Kettle at Christmas.
Prayers up and out to Dan and his wife for a speedy recovery.
Thank you, Brothers and Sisters.
