Details are not fully in for this, but through members in PGR and BDWNC and HS, we know this. Ms Deb McKay reports on a biker named Alfred Burns. He’s located in UT-Hospital-Knoxville, with injuries sustained in a bike accident. He’s pretty banged up and was in ICU for some time. We don’t have all the details. An account is being established to help cover costs for him. The best it seems we can do at this point is pray up and ask that we can get a Christian biker there to minister and assist.
