Shelli is currently in a hospital in Cleveland, OH..... after spending time in a Hospital in Kalispell Montana in an induced coma, she was med-flighted back to Cleveland where her family was available for support. Those of you who know Shelli know how strong she is in body, mind, and spirit. She has been there for all of us to help make cycling safer and better for Cleveland. It's time for us to be there for her. It has been a little over a month since the accident and Shelli is making progress, a little every day. A Medical trauma of this magnitude is going to take a lot of funding. A "Trip Around the World" Quilt is being made to be raffled off as a prize in exchange for raffle tickets to raise funds for her medical and support costs. The quilt is a tribute to Shelli's favorite things, and a story told in fabric of her journey.
All funds raised will go directly to Shelli (by way of her mom, Monica) to pay for her medical expenses, ice cream, and good cheer. Keep up your prayers and good thoughts, and give a little as well.
There is a Go Fund Me Page that is set up for donations also, Shelli Snyder Medical & Cheer Fund.
I hope that the hope of winning this quilt will bring in more funds and give someone a wonderful prize. The picture of the quilt is one taken while it was in constructions.. the little yellow paper tags are reference points and will not be part of the competed quilt.. Finished pictures will be available soon.
