Steve’s crash left him with a broken hip, femur, and elbow. So far he has had two surgeries and possibly faces more in the future. Because of his injuries, Steve will be unable to work or build frames for a while. As a small business owner you can imagine how this is a great concern.

As if all of that weren’t enough, Steve’s teenage daughter received second degree burns over most of one arm and part of the other arm recently. Last we heard the doctors were still deciding if she will need skin grafts.

The Rex family are long-time residents of Sacramento and are very active in the local cycling community and in the American River Parkway Foundation. They sponsor a stretch of the trail and often go out to pick up trash themselves. They’ve been very generous to Sacramento and now it is time to give back. As a small way to help Steve and his family get through this difficult time, some of Steve’s friends are organizing a raffle in his name.

Even if you don’t ride, you probably know someone that does, and helping out is a nice thing to do!
