On a dreary and icy mountain bike ride in the beloved National Forest, our friend Eric endured an unfortunate accident which caused significant internal injuries.  Through the quick thinking of the friends with him and his own amazing resolve, Eric was able to be moved to an area where EMS could transport him to Uva hospital.  There he underwent emergency surgery and is successfully recovering.  However, he will likely be away from work for an extended period while he recovers.  This fund has been setup to help his family with the costs of his medical care and lessen the financial burden overall.  Here's to helping our dear friend, brother, husband and father to a speedy recovery.  VIVA!
