Bless his bike-lovin' heart ;-)

I wanted to take a post to inform those who might not yet know that Tim Jackson (aka "MasiGuy"), a beloved member of BOTH the online marketing community--and the online cycling community--had a very rough cycling accident this past Tuesday evening during a race.

While the prognosis is very good--and he should be home from the hospital soon--apparently he hit the boards in the 24th lap of a 25-lap race and sustained a concussion, broken ribs, a few of his neck bones are fractured, his thumb was badly torn and required surgery, and I'm not sure about his knee.

All told, he has quite a road to recovery...but a recovery he will make. And, knowing his bike-loving heart, the first chance he gets he'll be back on a bike (and yes, he always wears a helmet).

His friends have been nothing short of amazing in posting updates and creating a Get Well Fund that you can donate to: information is at this post right here. If you want to leave a comment for him, I guess the best place is at that blog, too.

Sending lots of love and prayers your way, Masiguy ;-).

Thank you, my very dear friend.

I'm going to be fine. I'm gonna heal. I'm gonna get back on my bike/s and ride/ race again. I'll be back!

Here's the catch though; I'm never gonna be the same again. Why? Because of the outpouring of support and well wishes I have received from friends like you and from all the friends I never knew I had. I feel blessed to be alive, but even more blessed by the connections in my life- connections to countless wonderful people (like you).

Thank you again- I'm changed... but for the better.
