Every year during summer, a group of Yale students rides across the US for a Habitat for Humanity fund raiser called the Habitat Bicycle Challenge. Two years ago, Rachel Speight '06, died when she collided with a fellow bicyclist and then hit a car. Last year, Alexander Capelluto '08 died in a cycling accident in West Haven while training for last year’s HBC trip. And on Saturday, Dan Lewis '09, was hit by a car in Kansas and is in critical condition. He is in a medically induced coma after suffering head trauma in the accident.
My prayers go out to Dan Lewis and his family that he has a speedy recovery.
