Friends,

As many of you are aware, our friend, (and the President of Toledo Area Bicyclists, TAB), Doug Kilpatrick, was hurt last weekend on one of the group rides in a road-rage incident with a motorist. Doug sustained some severe injuries and was rushed to the hospital for assessment. He was released the next day, however, we have learned from his wife, Amy, that Doug had to be readmitted recently for ongoing complications.

With Amy’s permission, two upstanding members of TAB and the Northwest Ohio Bicycling Community, Nicole Reece and Sharleen Suico, are taking up donations to help Doug and Amy, whether that be for Door Dash or Uber Eats gift-cards, or other service oriented retailers to help them during this difficult time.

Both are accepting cash or check donations, and you can give those to them at any of the club rides. (Both ride several during the week including the Monday Night Waterville Ride, The Tuesday SpeedTrap Ride, and the Thursday "5fer").

If you prefer a money transfer service:

Nicole has Venmo: @Nicole-Reece-1

Sharleen has Zelle, you can use her mobile number: (440) 522-8446

If you’d like to mail a check, please contact Sharleen (listed above).

You may share this with other members of the bicycling community, however, please be careful and safeguard as Sharleen’s phone number is listed in this post.
