Campaign Story
On Saturday 12th October Patricio was out on a mountain bike training ride with friends when a nasty crash sent him onto the ground breaking his C3 and C4 vertebrae. He was rushed to hospital in Bogota where he has had to wait for swelling to reside before surgery to fuse his C3, C4 and C5 vertebrae to stabilise the area. At this stage he has yet to have feeling in his arms and legs, the details on the long term prognosis are minimal but with an injury of this severity it is a long and slow road to recovery. The aim of this fundraiser is to help Patricio, his family and children adapting to the challenges they will face in the upcoming months. Please donate to help get Patricio back doing what he loves. Patricio is a 15x national trials champion, The 2017 masters enduro champion and an all round great guy. Any help would be greatly appreciated and please share this with friends and fellow riders every little bit makes a huge difference.
ESPANOL
El sábado 12 de octubre, Patricio estaba en un viaje de entrenamiento en bicicleta de montaña con amigos cuando se accidentó, sufriendo una lesion de la medula espinal, rompiendo sus vértebras C3 y C4.
También sufrio una hernia en las vertebras c5 y c6, y una fractura de clavícula.
El antioqueño de 41 años ha sido 15 veces campeón nacional de trial, posteriormente hizo la transición a enduro y downhill donde también ha tenido podios destacables en los últimos tres años.
Patricio fue llevado de urgencia a un hospital de Bogotá, donde tuvo que esperar a que la inflamación residiera antes de que se le pudiera operar sus vértebras C3, C4 y C5 para estabilizar el área. En este momento aún no ha tenido sensación mas allá del pecho y motricidad mas abajo de los hombros.
Los detalles sobre el pronóstico de su recuperación a largo plazo son inconclusos, pero con una lesión de esta gravedad, hay un camino largo y lento hacia la rehabilitación. El objetivo de esta recaudación de fondos es ayudar a Patricio, su familia y sus hijos a adaptarse a los desafíos que enfrentarán en los próximos meses.
Es entendible que todos quieren ayudar pero es muy importante se difunda el mensaje oficial con la información exacta, que no se riegue desinformación, que protejamos la integridad de Patricio y la privacidad de familia.
Toda las preguntas que tengan, el apoyo, los mensajes, etc pueden escribirle a Isabela Escobar.

El resto de la familia esta ocupada al cuidado de Patricio. No los estresemos mas de lo necesario.

Update posted by Isabela Escobar at 08:21 pmHi everyone, Isabela speaking, Pato's youngest sister. Patricio underwent surgery yesterday for his spinal cord and vertebrae. As of now, results are inconclusive, but his neurosurgeons said that they felt that procedure went well and without complications. The fact that he survived the surgery is already a HUGE VICTORY.Now it. . . . .

We were elated when our daughter, Tanvika was born a year ago. However, soon after her birth, we’ve been shuttling between hospital and home. My little baby has not known a life beyond pain. Her rare blood disorder has deprived her of a happy childhood and has filled her life with miseries. State Bank of India Account number-- 35884742378 IFCS(BIC)-- SBIN0015806 Swift code-- SBININBB476
