If you know John Dickinson, there’s no question you have a good story to tell. He’s the jovial, kind-hearted friend of everyone. He’s one of those rare people in which others happily gravitate towards and if you meet him one time, you will have a friend for life. His impact on our industry will be more than lifelong.
On Jan 27, at the start of the Red Bluff Gelding Sale, John’s heart was suddenly sent into shock. As he quickly lost consciousness, complete strangers from within the crowd sprang to action and fought to keep him alive. Performing CPR for over 20 minutes until the ambulance and paramedics arrived, John finally regained consciousness.
This all happened following a minor snowboard accident that led to a shoulder surgery just before christmas. John has and will continue undergo every test possible to ensure a full recovery and things are slowly returning to normal. But now the bills are coming in. Between a change in caledar year, the shoulder, the heart episode that included three ambulance rides, several days in the ICU, a defibrillator surgery, a future ablation procedure, and now the follow up tests, all combined with the loss of income from the spring sales, John is in need of our help.
As a community we have an opportunity to show him we care. If you know John, you’d also know he is the first to give, but be the last to ask. For the record, we as a collective group of John’s friends have created this page before he could say no. We thank you for your time, your donations large or small (every dollar counts) and mostly for your thoughts and prayers throughout this whole ordeal. If you'd like to donate in other ways, please feel free to contact the adminstrators of this campaign, and we'll be happy assist you in any way we can. Thank you.
