On October 17, 2016 Lori was riding her bike with a small group on High House Road when she was struck by an uninsured, hit-and-run driver. The driver has multiple DUI's. Lori has been fighting for her life ever since that moment. Lori is an avid cyclist and six time iron-man athlete.

Lori was in a coma with severe brain trauma, bleeding on her brain, and multiple broken bones. That first night doctors informed her family that Lori would not survive. There was no chance of her brain recovering from this tragic accident.

Lori has pushed back and proved she is not done fighting. She has undergone more than 10 surgeries to date, many of them brain surgeries at Wake Med hospital. In January, she was moved to a skilled nursing facility in Matthews, NC.

Lori’s medical diagnosis is severe traumatic brain injury. Her parents, sister and facility staff care for her 100%. She is unable to speak, walk, or feed herself. On her good days, she can follow some commands, answer questions with finger responses, give a wave and seems to be present in what is happening around her. Traumatic brain injuries hold a very large unknown in the medical industry.

Please register to walk or ride. Donate to the silent auction. Sponsorships are available.
