Hello everyone my name is Rich Ventura and I am writting to let you know about the unfortunate acciddent the Mike Lewis was recently involved in.  Those of you that know Mike cleary know his love for hunting, motorcycles, quads, dirt bikes and most importantly his family.

Mike was out riding his quad on New Years Eve just as he does nearly everytime he goes to his house upstate but this ride ended in a bad way.  Mike was thrown off his quad breaking more than 13 ribs, fracturing his skull and collarbone.  Mike is currently is Albany Medical Center and is in an extreme amount of pain and discomfort.

As you know Mike is a NYC Fire fighter and one of the toughest, bravest men that i know.  I know Mike will pull through this and be back to his normal (Crazy) self in no time.  Mike is the first one to help a friend in need and im sure he's helped each and everyone of you at some piont in his life.  Well now it is our turn to return the favor to Mike and his family.  Mike is going to have his first of what may be many surgeries on tuesday.  If after reading this you can take two minutes out of your day and say a prayer for the Lewis family it would mean so much.  Mike's road to recovery will not be easy.  I am asking anyone who can donate any amount of money to help support Mike, Merissa and the children during this difficult time to do so.  No donation is too small or unappreciated.  Just like Mike is like a brother to me I'm sure he's like a brother to you also.
