On September 2, 2009, Jeremy Kvamme went for a motorcycle ride with his uncle and some friends. They were all heading home after driving out to Forest River when Jeremy must have misread a curve in the road and went into the ditch. He was initially unconscious and then his uncle was able to wake him. When he woke, he said he could not feel his legs and we all feared that he was paralyzed. He was rushed to Altru Hospital where they did surgery on his spinal cord. Two weeks later he was transferred to Craig Hospital in Colorado, where he spent the next 3 months. Jeremy suffered a catastrophic injury to his spinal cord, C5 / C6 Asia A complete, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. He has very limited use of his hands and no use of his legs.

Jeremy wanted to thank everyone for all they have done, so many people have gone above and beyond what he would have ever expected. He is thankful for being able to get to Craig Hospital and thankful everyone who stayed the night with him when he wasn't doing well (Mom, Auntie C and Laurie), everyone who visited from near and far in Grand Forks and at Craig, thank you to Aunt Adele for your unwavering support everyday at Craig (and thank you for being pushy when I need it), thank you to everyone who worked behind the scene to get things done, checking on me, helping me, bringing in food, sending thoughtful cards, fruit, flowers, emails that keep him connected to everyone and in the loop, phone calls, visits, t-shirts, donations, support and gifts and your positive words of encouragement, hopeful attitudes and prayers that have helped me through this. He says he has most wonderful friends and family any guy could ever hope for. He knows that he has the absolute best support team and he says thank you so much for all the love you have given. He won't let you down.. He will work as hard as he can to recover. Thank you Dave for picking up my bike and transporting it after my accident. Thank you Harry and Kevin for coming to the hospital that night of my accident. Thank you to everyone out there reading the website, it means so much that you all care. I love you all...
