Dear Editor:
On Sunday, Sept. 8 at approximately 11:45 a.m. our son had a cycling accident on Capilano Road just south of Marine Drive. He somersaulted over the handlebars, landing on his arm with great force. He felt it waswithin seconds of landing that an Australian tourist cycling nearby came to his assistance followed shortly by a Squamish Nation Peacekeeper who immediately dialed 9-1-1. Also stopping to offer expert assistance was a physician, Frances Roos, who called us from her cellphone to tell us our son was on the way to Lions Gate emergency and that she would bring his bicycle to our house.It was determined to be a broken arm and he is now sporting a cast and the prognosis is good for a complete recovery.We send our heartfelt thanks for the kindness of these good Samaritans wherever they may be! (Although words fail to adequately express our gratitude.)
