Collection for Jen Maxwell

[jarhead]

I originally started this on madisonsportbikes.com but am extending it out to other forums as well. I am sure the CCS community would like to show there support for Jen as well!

I'd like to get together a collection for Jen Maxwell so we could send some flowers/card from the motorcycling community. Please PM me if you're interested. I will take paypal donations, donations at OWW, or you can mail me your donation. If it gets bigger than expected I will include cash that can help her with her medical bills.

Let's continue our support for Jen and give what we can! 

Send paypal donations to: acbigsby AT yahoo DOT com

PM if you're going to mail money and I will send you my address.

Who is Jen Maxwell and why are you collecting for her?

[RCR_531]

She is CR rider for PTT who had a bad crash at Blackhawk Farms during one of their events. Hear is the story of what happened. Scary stuff

Jarhead could you post how she is doing?

[Jeff]

Thanks Rodney.  Yep, an updated condition would be really good to hear.  Hopefully it's looking good.

[Burt Munro]

Roster I have shows that she is CCS #626.

[HAWK]

Yes, she got her license last summer at Blackhawk. Hope she gets well soon.

This is a message from Jen's sister Susan Maxwell.

Hello everyone. I'm Jen's older sister and I'm very happy to report that the reports of Jen's demise are greatly exaggerated!

Jen is currently at Kindred Hospital in Sycamore, Illinois. She's been taken completely off the vent and we anticipate that doctors will remove her trach tube early this week. Jen continues to make daily improvements and, although it is too early to know what her long-term prognosis will be, we are hopeful that her youth, health and physical condition will all contribute to a good recovery.

My parents and I are interested in hearing from riders who witnessed or have photographs of Jen's accident. Please contact me at suz_maxwell@hotmail.com if you or someone you know could help us piece together what happened before and after Jen's accident at Blackhawk Farms on June 11th.

Thank you all for your concern and well wishes. They are greatly appreciated.

A special thanks to Spoot for posting the pics of Jen on the track. I hadn't seen those yet and they're great! One of the things that always strikes me about my sister's track pictures is the braid coming out from the back of her helmet and whipping around behind her.

To date I have collected $275 – this is a great start from the MSB, CLSB, WISpR, CCS, and SBN communities! I am going to keep collecting until next Friday July 27th. Thank you again to everyone that has contributed to show their support for Jen!

We doubled the collection for Jen and the total is up to $660! 

I received some very generous donations from two MSB sponsors today. Thank you Steve and Judy from Madison Motorsports and Joe and Karen from Motorcycle Solutions.

As one person quoted the following statement "Good start but really, that's pretty pathetic when you look at the number of members to all of those clubs/organizations. For those that haven't given yet, I'm going to gilt you into giving. God forbid you should have anything happen to you and no one cares enough to lend a hand. Now wake up people and give! $5 won't kill you, give up a lunch out at McDonalds for one day, and do your heart some good, literally. Save the fat and feel good that you did a good thing at the same time! Now do it, today, send $5 via your Paypal account to acbigsby@yahoo.com c/o The Jen Maxwell Fund."

Let's keep the ball rolling on this folks! Jen was a person that was there to help anyone anytime. It's time to give that back to Jen!

I will set aside monies for flowers for Jen's room. The rest will be given to her family to take care of any medical bills or needs for Jen. Let's continue to raise this beyond expectations and show who we really are! Every little bit helps!

Thanks again!
Andy
