Lots of help, lots of thanks

On Tuesday, Aug. 26th I was rollerblading with my two-year-old daughter, Vanessa, in her baby jogger. We were having our usual fun time when all of a sudden an oncoming little boy on a bike crossed the middle line of the Valley Trail and was directly blocking our path. I had nowhere to go but down. I avoided the little boy but Vanessa and I hit the pavement hard. The baby jogger snapped in half. Fortunately Vanessa was completely safe. Thank God for her helmet, bike gloves and the time I spent before the blade to ensure she was tightly and properly buckled in.

I am writing this letter to thank the amazing people who came running to help us. I am sorry I did not make note of your names in my state of shock but am so grateful for the time and care you took to make sure we were okay.

Thanks to the lady playing golf at the Whistler Golf Club who leapt over the creek, sat with me the entire time while I caught my breath and who held Vanessa and assured me she was not hurt.

Thanks to the incredible staff at the Whistler Golf Club who drove me to the clubhouse where I was picked up. There were at least six staff who helped me, including the gal driving the food/beverage cart who made me an icepack for my scraped legs, the nice guy who drove the cart and patted my shoulder when I felt the need to cry, the two medical people who checked to make sure I did not have a concussion, plus a couple of others.

Finally I want to thank Kent Wills for always being there for us. Your help and concern was incredible and I really want all of you to know how much I appreciate it.
