Nova Scotia Ramblers Bicycle Club hasn't added a story.
You may or may not have heard that one of our members, Catherine Loftin (the several-time hostess of our summer BBQ event in Hubley), was recently struck by a sudden illness while traveling in Europe visiting her daughter. The event has left her partially paralyzed and with significant speech impairment. She is hospitalized in Germany awaiting enough improvement in her condition to make the journey back home. Catherine's close friend, Rambler Paul Davidson, is scheduled to travel to Germany to see Catherine, an otherwise unplanned journey of not insignificant expense. Some of us have decided to offer a helping hand to Paul by making a donation to offset the costs of the trip. We have set up a this crowdfunding website where anyone so motivated can easily make a contribution. If, by any chance, the contributions were to exceed the costs of Paul's trip, any surplus would be provided to Catherine to offset the inevitable expenses that will be associated with her road to recovery. If you feel so inclined, you may make a donation by clicking the Contribute link on this page.
Thanks for caring.
Update on Catherine's progress;
Hello Rambler Family
A lot has happened in the last few days all good just chaotic. First Catherine is doing well. I talk to her every second day and she is stronger every day. Her speech is improving while the paralysis is still there but the doctors are sure that will come as well. We made the decision to bring her home shortly after the 17th of July. We are not sure when, as the insurance people will book the flight. This will mean she will be accompanied by a physician on her flight in case of an emergency. The option to have her stay longer would have negated the doctor on flight. She will travel with the doctor to the rehabilitation centre from the airport. Due to this uncertainty in time lines we decided it would be best to cancel my flight so I could be here when she arrived. The we I refer to is myself, Ariana, and Celeste both of whom are her daughters with her in Germany now. The upshot of all that is any money collected by the gracious Rambler family can be put to use by Catherine for her bills. I will check with Celeste to see what expenses incurred in Germany. Thanks again for all the emotional as well as financial support. Paul
