Vermont rider in need
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:09 pmHey everyone.
Over the past couple of years we've gotten a nice little Vermont Bike Night going Tuesday nights here in the Burlington area. Sadly, one of our regulars, Andrew "AJ" Bosworth, has been hospitalized with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the nervous system. To make matters worse, he had just started two new jobs before Christmas, and his health insurance has not kicked in yet.
One of AJ's friends has set up a Paypal donation address; more info (and the full story) here for anyone who's able to help out:

Also, the core Bike Night group, all members of New England Streetriders, has planned a fundraiser event for next Saturday, Jan 30 (short notice, I know, but AJ desperately needs money now). It'll be at Donny's Pizza in Winooski starting at 7pm. There will be assorted entertainment, plus raffles, and it's looking like most of the area motorcycle shops will have people in attendance. Info here:

I know no one on this forum is really local to Burlington, but if it so happens that any of you are going to be around next weekend and want to join us, you would of course be wholeheartedly welcomed.
Thanks for reading!
