wow, this is very sad as he was really looking forward to this ride with his daughter and son-in-law. he was going to be on a month long trip with some great destinations for sure. I have wrote to Carol about where to send donations and well wishes. i met them last year at the VOAI Family Reunion and they were just the neatest couple and loved that blue valk trike they had which Carol painted herself and I know he just finished up his trailer too for the trip. very sad news but if I know Aaron he will be strong and fighting all the way to get better and then back on his trike. Hang in there buddy!
Here was his trip agenda that he was really looking forward to doing the whole thing.
My son in law on his Yamaha, my daughter on her Wing, me on my Valkyrie. A tent trailor and getting out for a ride.
