Mike Aitken Update

Mike has again surpassed all of our expectations and proven that he has the strength to conquer all. Just yesterday we were so excited that Mike was beginning to catch his balance for the first time, and now today he is walking on his own down the halls of the hospital.
Mike was elated to have reached this goal so soon and spent the morning expressing how grateful and blessed he feels to have regained the ability walk without help. Taking this huge step forward gave Mike added peace of mind, and for the first time he can believe that he really is going to pull through this.
For the first time since the accident Mike has started to talk about riding again. I think it’s the first time that he can see that as a possibility for his future. He also talked a lot about the need for a change in BMX culture concerning helmets. Mike say’s he’s learned a lesson about safety, a lesson he nearly paid for with his life, and he never wants any other riders to go through what he has gone through.
Thank you again for all of your support and prayers,
-The Aitken Family
Other info can be found at www.fitbikeco.com and remember that Mike needs all of our help with Dr’s bills and such .So if you have a few extra bucks please help him out .

Injured Rider, Mike Aitken Needs Your Help!

Mike Aitken is a Professional BMX rider in need of our help.  Mike is an icon in the sport of BMX and is someone who rides with incredible style and passion for the sport.  He is also a proud husband and a father.  Read the message below from his brother Jeremy Aitken:

“Mike Aitken has been hospitalized in serious condition.  While in Pennsylvania over the weekend, Mike was seriously injured when he over-rotated a 360.  He is currently in the ICU unit and has not regained consciousness.  His injuries include a fractured eye socket, sinus and both sides of his jaw.  A CAT scan shows no swelling on his brain.  As soon as any changes in his status are available, we will pass them on.  Thank you for your faith, prayers, and support of Mike and his family.  They are needed and greatly appreciated.”10/6/2008
