Hi, I am a long-time friend of the cyclist who was struck, Shawn.
Shawn is doing well, considering what had happened. He was left with several broken bones, some nerve damage and a lot of scrapes. But luckily he is alive and there was no head trauma.
Since the incident there has been a massive outpouring of support from the friends and family who have known Shawn for years. He was an incredible member of his community — a homeowner in Columbia Heights and an employee at the American Legacy Foundation where he worked on anti-smoking campaigns for youth as part of the TRUTH campaign.
Shawn is also an alumni of American University and the Delta Chi fraternity there. Since the incident, fraternity alumni have set up a donation site and begun reaching out to everyone we know to help Shawn with his long road to recovery. We have seen an incredible level of support for him with 100+ donations and more than $2500 donated in the past 24 hours.
If you all could consider please helping him out on his long road to recovery we would really appreciate it.
Any amount — $5, $10, $20 — would be a huge help and a lift for Shawn’s spirits. You can access the donation’s page here:

Thank you very much.

Good to hear he’s improving and hopefully it is a speedy recovery.
