John Hekker Hit by Car while Biking to Work
Our dad, John Hekker was involved in a bicycle vs car collision on Wednesday February 24, 2021 in Augusta, Georgia. In addition to being a great cyclist our dad is a wonderful nurse at Augusta University Medical Center. While biking to work he was struck at an intersection by a driver who was not paying attention.
Anyone that knows our dad, is aware that cycling is his passion!
We are so very thankful that he is strong and a survivor.
However, his life will be forever changed. He sustained many injuries and fractures. He will be wheelchair bound/ non weight bearing for a minimum of 8-12 weeks.
He will require extensive rehabilitation and family support. At this time we are asking for donations to help support his medical deductibles and any additional financial assistance he may need during this hard time.
He has had an extended ICU stay and we are hoping that he will stabilize and transfer to the floor soon.
Thank you for your support at this time!
