Sergios Fund (http://sergiosfund.org/)
 

:( doesn't say where to donate..

more info on page (http://sergiosfund.org/helping.html)

So glad to see we can finally help him - he is a super nice guy.

I dont know him in person but emailed them to put up a paypal.

This is horrible news about Sergio's condition.  There was an idea on HCOR to set up an auction of bike parts. People could donate parts to be sold, then give the proceeds to Sergio. I want to contribute whatever I can in parts or $. Glad to see his family is here for him also.

He really need help.

let show some suport and love for Sergio, he's the one who had the accident last season, last day of PK.

this is frikking heartbraking.

not like it doesn't deserve two threads but

ohh...

I didn't see that one... good that he's being help...

like Claus said... really cool guy.

Money sent. I can't even imagine being in that situation, I think every rider should know about an incident like this, and feel for this guy. Good luck to him, and hopefully the fundraiser goes real well.

wow this is extremely bad, was he wearing spine protector?  

Wouldnt have helped - he compresse cervical vertebrae - something like what Chris Reeve did; I believe C4-C5 -- I broke and herniated/crushed some neck verts like that, Thank god I got out of it 99%, just muscle damage, no nerve.

a Neck roll MIGHT have helped, but as I understand it, he suffered a direct compression as a result of 'pile driving' head 1st into a tree.

I def saw him ridin his ass off in the past.  Life is unpredictable, but dont let it scare you - I also have a childhood friend that is Quadraplegic after the van he was in (parked) was bumped by another car pulling otu and he fell and broke his neck (healthy, 'robust' kid.. freak accident) - so YES we do dangerous stuff, but this is more about a remote chance that unfortunately got Sergio!

 

just so you know the PAYPAL button is up on the site so you can ALL send some love, not like when I asked to send me loot ;)  except for the few heads who did and will do their thing anyway.

like Alex said you need to FEEL for the dude. I dont even know him. sent my broke dolla.

Thanks from the Family of Sergio..

Hi All. I am Erika Sergio's cousin. He is doing well and you can find out more here www.sergiosfund.org. He suffered a C3-5 pinch meaning his spine was affected but not broken, but he is a complete quad, we pray everyday for a miracle.

In the mean time I set up this fund with his brother and mom to help them financially. We need a wheelchair and supplies etc...

He is currently living in a nursing home in Queens, LI, NY and visitors are always welcome!!

He will be at my home in Bellmore Li July 1st for a BBQ if any of you wish to stop by and say hi, shoot the breeze etc.. He would love that. His out look is good and I had plastered his Hospital room with images of riders to keep his spirits up.

I can not say enough – THANK YOU TO ALL WHO EXPRESSED CONCERN, YOUR PRAYERS ETC FOR SERGIO.

We – the family – can not say how much it means to us all. His mom’s English is not the greatest so I took this on to help and to get the word out.

If anyone wants to put together fund raising please call me. I’d love to help with the logo, the web site etc…

Be safe. Be well
And thanks

let's make a visit group to cheer him up in person...

I'm down. We just need to pick a day when everyone possible can make it.

Sent my dolla aswell...

why dont we go visit him in Bellmore on july 1st?

this is the info of the nursing home where he is now:

FRANKLIN CENTER FOR REHAB AND
142 27 FRANKLIN AVENUE
FLUSHING, NY 11355
(718) 670-3400


will be def. nice if we can visit him or at least call to send good bives.

im down for the visit, lets just plan it ahead of time..

yo, the visit is a very good idea.

I would love to come with you guys.

Let me know when you guys are going.  

I visit would be cool - has anybody called Erika regarding when its good to visit?

...

I'm IN for the first

Erika emailed me, I think the 1st is a good time to go for whoever is around. I will call Juanjo tomorrow. most likely L.I double R keeping it real..

Juanjo and me are going on Saturday, the 1st. whoever's not off to ride is welcome to join in. some people said they don't even know the guy. guess what! I don't know him either but why not pay a visit?

i also dont know him either but hey... a fellow rider is family in my book. i tried to give a call over to the center he is currently at but i do not know his last name if any one knows please post... if you prefer not to make that information public please PM me.

theres a BBQ on saturday at his cousins house in LI.. PM me if you want to come along..

Ok...

who's in for another visit, but this time to the nursing home in queens... I'm sure that must be pretty lonely to be on a nursing home being that young.

let keep cheering Sergio up

Wait I'm confused, is Shino and Juanjo talkin about the same location? Which day, Sat ?

The BBQ Shino is talking about was July 1st.

Hey...

Paul, Nito, Charly and I want to give another visit to Serio in a two weeks from today so if anyone else want to join will be great...



cheers

I would love to join you.
