Get Well Mikey
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
Fuzzy Hall just called to let us know about Mike Aitken’s bad crash at the infamous Posh Trails in Pennsylvania. Here’s part of the post about the incident from 5050BMX.com: “Aitken over-rotated a 360 and hit his head pretty bad, and it is believed he had a seizure when he initially went down. He’s currently in the hospital and is being watched closely by the doctors.” Unfortunately Mike did not have medical insurance, but 5050 is setting up a fund to help out. Everyone knows how rad Mike Aitken is, and now it’s your chance to do something for him. Hit up the 5050 website for more news and for the Mike Aitken fund. Vital BMX wishes Mike and his family all the best.
UPDATE courtesy of the Athlete Recovery Fund:
Mike Aitken is a Professional BMX rider in need of our help. Mike is an icon in the sport of BMX and is someone who rides with incredible style and passion for the sport. He is also a proud husband and a father. Read the message below from his brother Jeremy Aitken:
“Mike Aitken has been hospitalized in serious condition. While in Pennsylvania over the weekend, Mike was seriously injured when he over-rotated a 360. He is currently in the ICU unit and has not regained consciousness. His injuries include a fractured eye socket, sinus and both sides of his jaw. A CAT scan shows no swelling on his brain. As soon as any changes in his status are available, we will pass them on. Thank you for your faith, prayers, and support of Mike and his family. They are needed and greatly appreciated.”10/6/2008
This is a time when we can pull together to make a huge difference in Mike’s recovery. No amount is too small and if everyone pulls together and offers a little bit we can make a dent in the medical bills to come.
