Glenn Hartrick, an avid triathlete, member of GCTri and Jersey City resident, was on a routine training ride the morning of June 12, 2014 when he was involved in a very serious crash resulting in injuries which left him paralyzed from the chest down. After many surgeries Glenn continues his recovery at Kessler Rehabilitation Center on an outpatient basis. Although his life has been altered by this tragic event, he hasn’€™t given up on his love for endurance racing and is currently training to participate as a challenged athlete with his new hand cycle at the Unite Half Marathon on April 12 and the NYC Marathon later this year.
On Saturday April 11 from 1:30 to 6 p.m. a benefit event sponsored by the Gold Coast Triathlon Club of Hoboken will take place at Wheelhaus Bikegarten, 720 Monroe St., Room C-301, Hoboken, and all funds raised will go directly to helping pay for Glenn’s medical bills. Spin sessions will begin at 1:30 p.m., 2:45 p.m., 4 p.m., and 5:15 p.m., with an after party at the Tilted Kilt, 800 Jackson St., Hoboken. Donation for participants is $100 per session.
Register for the event and/or donate at the event website, www.spinning4glenn.com. Glenn’s personal webpage is at www.glennhartrick.com.
