View Full Version : Good Will *Rider Injured*

Im pretty confident that no one here knows my friend, Bill Hill

you will have to trust me when I say that Bill is a great person and a very good rider.

On Friday February 11th, after riding all day with friends in Tonasket Washington, Bill went to load up his bike.

Ironically, he had worn his helmet all day, but did not have it on for loading.

Bill road one last wheely, hit the grab bar on the pavement and was thrown from the bike.

In the resulting crash Bill suffered severe head injury.

Luckily a doctor was on scene within minutes (he happened to live near by) and was able to stabilize him.

After a long helicopter ride Bill is in Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane. He is in a medically induced Coma as the doctors fight to reduce the pressure on his brain.

After the a very touch and go first 72 hours things are starting to look better, but there is a really long road ahead.

Bill just turned 21, and was taking the winter off after serving on fire crews all summer. That means, unemployed and no insurance.

I've never done anything like this before, but I've set up a relief fund for Bill.

I'm posting this in the wanted section because I'm looking for good will, I know someone who needs it badly.

Any little bit will help

Thank you
