Help if you can...Please....

We have a friend in need. I say "We", because even if you don't know my friends over at a Simple Six, you will see there work in an upcoming cargo bike movie. Not only that, but you would thank them for the fighting for cyclist rights they do, the tips for new cargo bikers they give, and just the all around good vibe these awesome Bike People give.

Here's the Skinny: A Simple Six is a family of six with not one but 2 cargo bikes. They ride everywhere, and are truly a driving force behind the idea that a Bike can change lives, communities, and even the country. They have a son, Avery, who is really sick, sick with something called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. GB is an autoimmune disorder in which the body develops antibodies to fight off a virus, but those antibodies also attack the nervous system. This is little Avery's 2nd battle with this disease.  It is not a good situation. Stacy (mom) has been staying at the hospital, and Brent (dad) has been doing the best he can with work and holding down the home life. 

This hits really close to home because of what we just went through with our youngest Eli. We, were lucky. We could solve our issue with a simple surgery. These good folks are not so lucky. There will be more tests, more specialists, more tests, and then even more specialists. They will have a long road ahead of them. BUT, they will prevail, they will get through this. They will with Our help, and your help if you feel so inclined.

So here is how we can help, if you feel so inclined to do so, please help out. Even the smallest amounts will go a long ways.

Be good to each other, and if you feel so inclined, to these folks as well. If you can help with a card, send some Good Karma, your thoughts, your prayers, whatever it is you do, just send it their way!!!

  1. Hi Al,

    Checked this out and will need a little more information so we can get a gift card to the proper people. Can we get Avery's last name? That should do it.

    To contribute for a family, call Cathy Ray, Gift Shop Manager at (614) 722-9247 or Kristin Hanes, Nutrition Services Manager at (614) 722-3083, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

    Simply provide the patient’s name and your credit card number along with the amount you wish to contribute. All credit card information will be kept secure and a receipt is available upon request.

    1. Sorry about that, Avery's last name is Patterson I believe. Mom is Stacy Bisker and Dad Is Brent Patterson, so that should also help.
