DRN member needs your thoughts and prayers

[bscottr]

A good friend of mine, Mark Shuler, was severely injured today while racing the GNCC Harescramble event in NC. He was life flighted out after sustaining a neck injury as a result of going over the bars. He is currently experiencing partial paralysis in his hands and has no feeling in his legs. They were taking him to the MRI when I spoke to another buddy that is with him (Stumpy) just a few minutes ago.

I pray the paralysis is only temporary. Your thoughts and prayers are certainly appreciated.

Sorry to hear about your friend Scott. He and his family will be added to my prayers.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers as I’m sure his family does.

The MRI revealed a broken 5th vertebra, however, the hospital staff would not reveal anything further until his parents get there. I intend to leave in the morning to go see him and I’ll post updates as I am able.

Thanks Again,
Scott

I saw your friend wreck today. I was about 50 foot away from were he wrecked. It looked like his front wheel got caught in a rut and he went over the handlebars. It was a very scary crash. I was telling my wife when I got home that I would like to know how he was doing.

Our family will pray for him. Please keep us up to date on how he is doing.

He is going in for surgery this morning to replace the vertebra and we are hopeful this will reduce pressure on his spinal column. I’ll keep you posted on his progress.

The support here is always outstanding and thank you again.
