Mitch Brogan

"Biodiesel" Mitch Brogan, who Critical Massed with us all Winter and through part of Summer, was mowed down by a drunk driver in London, Ont where he now lives. London Commons has a post about it with more details, including how to send support.

As many of you already know, London activist and London Commons member Mitch Brogan was hit by a drunk driver while riding his bike last week. His was badly injured and has been in critical condition over the last week. At first because of some sort of a miscommunication we thought that his injuries were substantially worse, but today we have good news.

His neck was broken and he risked being paralysed from the neck down. Yesterday he started moving his arms around, but the doctors said that he had only a 10% chance of using his legs.

I'm probably going to go visit him in a couple of weeks when he's allowed to see people.

I'm so sad about this. Mitch has been such a good friend and lover to me since I met him a year ago.

I don't know if I'm going to be avilable for September's Critical Mass. I know I'm not the only friend he has here, so maybe someone would like to pass a card around to get signed or something?
