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." 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. Ways for you to help: Go to: www.5050bmx.com There is a link and a Paypal account set up for Mike and his family. OR Click the "MAKE A DONATION" button at the top of this page and donate directly through the Athlete Recovery Fund. Because ARF is a 501(c)3 Non Profit the PayPal fees are less than most anywhere else, meaning more of your donation goes to Mike and his family. OR Mail a check to: Athlete Recovery Fund c/o Mike Aitken 27636 Ynez Road L-7 #284 Temecula, CA 92591 MAKE CHECK PAYABLE TO MIKE AITKEN
Athlete Recovery Fund is in the process of providing a grant to also assist Mike and his family through this tough time. While extremely unfortunate this is the reason why we started our charity. For the PayPal and mailing address we are simply helping coordinate donations with the approval of Mike Aitken's family. For large donations or concerns about receiving tax deductibility please contact aaron@athleterecoveryfund.com |
