On the morning of January 6th, Eric was critically injured while running along a trail near Folsom Lake Crossing. He was struck from behind by a bicyclist. Eric received major head injuries as a result of the collision. He was cared for and transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center by his brothers at Folsom Fire Department and Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District.
He was in a coma for about 14 days and he spent a total of 46 days in the hospital and rehabilitation. He is now home and he continues to make gains during his rehabilitation. He completed 8 monthes of therapy including speech, occupational, and physical. He has made great progress but he still has a ways to go. Please join us and support Eric. We will have a sign with the name Strong Will on it and we meet near the State Capitol West steps about 10:30 am the morning of the walk. Please sign up and join Eric!
