On July 15th Erin Duggan and Lisa Greene were riding there bikes along 44 and there lives were change when they were struck by a suv that turned into there path.
Both single mothers were air lifted and sustained major injures. Erin took the brunt of the impact and was left with a broken femur, 50 stiches in her face, broken hand that is being held together by an erector and other injuries. She is still in a wheelchair and will have a long road to recovery.
The driver was uninsured with a suspended liscence and has had previous dui and narcotic convictions. He was in court last week for an unrelated narcotics charge. This man should have never been on the road. He probably should have been in jail. He is a hazard to society.
We are putting on a benefit on August 23rd called the Duggan/Greene Hike n’ Bike Benefit.
It will be held at Dennis Hill State Park in Norfolk CT. There will be music, silent auction, a 10 mile bike, 40 mile bike and a hike. Fun for everyone who want to come and support these great woman who just want to pay there medical bills.

Dear Karen,
We were truly devasted to learn of this terrible accident. My daughter plays soccer with Erin’s youngest daughter, Keely. I would like to suggest that you send an e-nail through the Avon Public School e-mail system. There would be many families in the school district who would like to support her given that she has four children at the schools. You could contact the school’s Administrative Offices directly (860) 404-4870 or http://www.avon.k12.ct.us. I do not know Lisa Greene, but would do similiar for her.
Kind regards,
Carolyn Longbottom
