Rick's Road To Recovery

As most of you know, Rick Smith suffered multiple injuries including a severe spinal cord injury from an accident that occurred on October 8th. Rick was airlifted to UPMC Hamot where he underwent a 5-hour surgery the next day. Rick is currently unable to move or feel from his chest down.

As a stage 4 Malignant Melanoma Cancer survivor, Rick's grit and determination are unmatched and he will work as hard as he can to recover. The next few weeks will be spent recovering from his injuries and then hopefully move on to a rehabilitation facility in Pittsburgh.

Rick "Smitty" is one of the most kind and genuine people you will ever come across. You may know him from his early years of bartending and owning the Powder Horn to selling cars at A. Crivelli Auto Group or most recently working at ITU AbsorbTech. Rick is an active member in the Titusville Community as well as a member of many local clubs. He enjoys spending time with his family and friends, golfing, riding the side-by-side with his wife Terry, sitting on the sidelines watching his grandsons at sporting events and spending Sundays at his camp (The Dawg Pound Inn) watching the Cleveland Browns.

This fundraiser is being set up to offset the cost of medical expenses, travel expenses and all of the accommodations necessary when he comes home.

On behalf of the entire Smith Family, we appreciate the outpouring of love, prayers and support shown over the past week, and undoubtedly in the months to follow.
