About Me

Location: Newark, Delaware

On June 16, 2006, Mike was doing what he loves most in the world~training a race horse! One minute, friends saw him go by at a full gallop. Thirty minutes later, he was found unconscious and barely breathing. Mike endured an emergency helicopter ride to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Unit where doctors determined he had suffered a severe brain injury and was placed in ICU in critical condition. After three weeks, Mike was transferred to Kernan Rehabilitation Center, then Sunbridge Care and Rehabilitation. He returned home in October ‘06 and continues to work on his recovery. We have experienced much hope and joy as we have witnessed Mike's miraculous journey towards recovery. Mike IS A MIRACLE (the exact words of his neurologist) and continues to surprise his health care providers. Mike faces each day with courage, faith and perseverance; his new job consisting of physical therapy and theraputic riding. Mike is currently undergoing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and is experiencing great progress! FOR THOSE WHO HAVE OFFERED ASSISTANCE, A "MIKE REA RECOVERY RELIEF FUND" HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO HELP WITH MIKE'S MEDICAL AND DAILY NEEDS.

No Internet Access

Just a quick FYI, Mike's sisters are without internet access at the moment, and apologise for a lack of recent updates. I (Alex at timwoolleyracing) saw them at Delaware Park yesterday (along with Rochelle) and they said that Mike was continuing to progress. The raffle for the Mustang was held after the fourth race. Becky from HRTV won! All four hundred tickets were sold, great job Sheila for putting everything together.

So very very nice of you to dispell the worry for those of us who check everyday on Mike thru the blog. Seeing no updates was a worry.

Thanks Alex for letting us know what's going on with the site. I was checking for updates all weekend and was disappointed when I couldn't find any recent ones. So happy to hear that the raffle was a success and that you had the good fortune to see Rochelle and Mike's sisters at Delaware Park yesterday.

Hope you have a good day, Mike. From all the reports we've been getting, you're doing a fantastic job.
