Most of these are from Erik and his family:
I, along with others, have been praying and need many more for a friend, Erik Brown. He was hit by a car on October 12th, heading out to do good deeds for others, on his motorcycle. He is in a coma right now. His wife, Jackie Brown is an amazingly strong woman that's needs prayers too along with their two girls. Please open up your hearts in prayer.
Erik, if you are fighting now like you ride on the track (and I know you are) you will pull through quickly. Praying hard for you and you family.

Anyone that can, please help with any donation you can, and feel free to pass this along. They need all the assistance they can get with the upcoming medical expenses.

No updates as of yet. Still in a coma and not breathing on his own. Still praying for all of you!!!

Erik was hit by a car this morning on his way to the shop to get his truck to help someone. He is in critical condition, not breathing on his own, and unresponsive in a coma. He had all his gear on but still suffered head trauma, broken ribs, one lung is filled with blood, and he tore his bicep. He was given some blood and was taken to surgery. We need your prayers and good thoughts but please do not call the hospital. The medical team is working hard and too many phone calls are working against us now. We will continue to keep you updated.

Jackie posted an update October 14th:
First off, I want to thank you all for praying and sending your blessings. I have read every single message to him so he knows you are all supporting his fight for his life. It was a very busy night, He did finally get food - about 2 spoonfuls of a liquid protein substance through a feeding tube. Another chest xray, CT scans, hand xray, and blood work. I got a chance to bathe him. There was something so amazing about that experience. He has always taken care of me and the girls and to do for him what he did when I had my c-section was so healing for me. I love this man more than anyone realizes. Keep praying that he comes out of this coma and comes back to me. Please!

Update from Jackie October 17th:
Yesterday was a hard day. Doctors said we are in it for the long road and to not expect much for 6-8 months. I don't believe that. Erik is strong, my love for him is stronger, and God's healing hand is on him. My baby has two surgeries today. I need all the prayers and good thoughts, positive energy we can get for him right now. Be specific - he needs to get through the surgeries and his brain needs to heal. Please don't ask me any questions as its way to hard to read those posts. Send your love and I will read them to him. Thank you!

Come On Erik!!!
This tears me up. You are such a great guy with a phenominal family. I can't imagine what Jackie and their girls are going through. This week for me has been rough. Riding to work on Tuesday was a bit nerve racking. I have found myself being more cautious than ever. You are one of the best riders I know and absolutely have just a huge heart. We're all pulling for you my friend. Fight this!!!!
