Rose Long

Last week, a friend of mine, Rose Long from UVM, whom I had just met last Spring during one of the collegiate races, was hit by a car and sustained a lot of injuries. She was in the hospital for a few days or so, and was recently released.

Insurance won't be able to cover all of the costs, especially for the oral surgery she needs. If you can donate, even just a buck, please do so at http://www.roselong.com, a website set up to raise funds to help cover the costs due to this horrific incident.

My heart goes out to her and her family. I hope and pray for a speedy recovery, and hope she'll be back for the Spring 2009 Road Season. She was the ECCC leader last spring, and I hope she'll be able to defend her title this year.

Good Luck Rose, and get well soon!
