Brief
Update On Stu Three weeks after being hit from behind while out
on a training ride, Stuart Culp and his family have started down the long road
to recovery. Stuart is currently at Kindred Hospital in Denver as he waits
to begin his re-hab at Craig Hospital. He is out of his coma, speaking and
standing with assistance. Unfortunately, he still has no memory. Stuart's
family has been kind enough to keep us updated via the site forum. Keep checking it for the latest on his
condition.
What
Can We do As one could imagine, the toll this accident is
taking on the family is eminence. The family is spending a tremendous amount
of time driving to and from Denver to spend time with Stuart. This is creating
huge gas and vehicle maintenance bills, while also leaving them little time for
meal preparation. After visiting with a family friend, it has been
decided that the cycling community can help the family the most by sending
Stuart's wife, Jeri, gift cards to the following businesses. This will help
ease the financial burden on the family and allow them to spend time with
Stuart while he continues to improve.
