Blind Ironman Injured > Last Update > 11/13

Could you PLEASE do me a favor? A long time friend of mine who is blind and a multi-time Ironman and marathon finisher was severely injured (hit by a bike while walking) and is going to be in the hospital for a long time. It would thrill him to get a card, autographed photos(yes, blind guys like this too!) , etc from the triathlon community …..he could REALLY use the encouragement and support!!
Richard Bernstein (Patient)
11 West - Room 109
Mt. Sinai Medical Center
One Gustav L. Levy Place
NY, NY 10029-6574
I appreciate your help and support! Thank you!
11/13 Update:
This will now be the last update....thank you so much to all for your encouragement and support of Ricky - it made a huge difference! Please recall that Ricky was released from the hospital on Oct 18 after a 10 week saga! He is very upbeat and passionate. He still has significant pain in his hip but is walking unaided and, he says, without a limp. He says he is "Coming Back!"
He was calling from the road. This morning he was a breakfast speaker at Walsh College and was on his way to another presentation. He sounds very good and optimistic. He has not yet started athletic training, but says that is coming. So, while he still has a long road in front of him, I think we can say he is going to make it.
Ricky again reiterated that he couldn't not have endured the saga without you. You have responded to perhaps the highest calling - making a positive difference in the life of another. Thank you!
