[RC] Mary Wells; update of injuries suffered at American River ride - Lari SheaWith great sadness, I'm conveying information from Jeannie
Pepper regarding our mutual friend, Mary Wells, who was injured at the
beginning of the American River ride on April 28th. As I understand
it, Mary's very controllable horse slipped on pavement and she suffered a
head injury, even though she was wearing a helmet.
Pepper said: "Her current condition is not very good. She
suffered a stroke after the original trauma & cannot see. She has
some lucid times but often is in her own world. This is so sad. I
think it would be nice if you could post her address & mention that
she was injured at American River on April 28th & could use some
cards & support from the endurance community. Her friend Stacey said
she thought it would do her good to know people were keeping her in their
thoughts. Her family is staying optimistic that she'll recover but it's
gonna be slow."
