Jim Hamilton from LandecAg (recently acquired by Monsanto’s ASI group) had been looking forward to joining the Monsanto Mavericks this year on the MS Bike Tour. He rode in it many times several years ago, but hasn’t ridden it since moving from St. Louis to Indiana to take a position with LandecAg. Unfortunately, Jim was in a very serious car accident about a month ago (hospitalized for five days with four broken ribs, collar bone, and a nearly collapsed lung) and is undergoing considerable rehabilitation. He was told by his physician that he would not be able to ride this year. This news is especially hard for Jim, who often commuted over 60 miles a day to work. He is maintaining a positive attitude and looking forward to joining the Mavericks in 2008 and had the following request:
“Please keep a spot open for me next year . . . . I am committed to being back on the bike!”
Please take a minute to email Jim at jhamilton@growdirect.com and provide him some words of encouragement.
Thanks in advance,
-david
