Early morning on July 19th on his way to work, our friend and brother, Ben (B.C.) Blanchard went down on his motorcycle in a tragic turn of events that has absolutely devastated his family and friends. He is on the trauma unit at Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville, suffering from broken shoulder and ribs, and a traumatic brain injury due to striking his head on the pavement, and has undergone emergency surgery in an attempt to stop the bleeding on his brain and has had a large piece of skull removed to alleviate pressure and swelling. Ben is doing ok... yet still in an extremely fragile state. Shanna his wife and mother of his two children, magnus and Finn has been by his side and gutting by the horror of the uncertainty of Ben's outcome, and doing her best to keep it all together and be strong while she herself is battling complications of Lyme's disease and is debilitating affects. Ben and Shanna moved to Tennessee from Illinois to raise their boys and carve out a new life on the farm and have for the past five years, done just that. They have poured money, blood, sweat and tears into their dream of a better life. They need our help as the bills pile up and the fears for future are all consuming. They have a very long road ahead of them and much healing to do. I know times are tight, but when the chips are down, we stand up. Let's unite forces and dollar by dollar help them rise. Together we can make a difference for his special little family and hopefully give light to their darkest days. Thank you.
