Wednesday night, November 4
WOW! The turnout at Mary’s Pizza was awesome to say the least. Brad Conners, representing the Santa Rosa Police Officers Association, reports huge attendance and great support from the community today for this fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who came out for great food and great company.

The most important part of this update is from Lucia’s Dad, Alan Wade:
Lucia reports that things are pretty much status quo on the recovery front. She seems to have made a big jump ahead on Monday, but now seems to have had a couple of more or less “flat” days. She reported to me by email, but has trouble composing because of double vision that still plagues her. Her main concern now is feeling “totally overwhelmed” by all the gifts, cards, and calls that she has received from so many of you. She is an extremely modest, unassuming person, who finds public attention of any kind abhorrent. She is not sure how she can thank everyone, but, true to herself, is working on it. We remain confident that progress will be slow but steady.
Lucia,
You’re in our thoughts and prayers. I am a BART PD Officer. I am like you, passionate about being the best cop I can be, and a fitness nut. Your story is very moving to our family. We donated to your cause at the Women Leaders in Law Enf Symp. That is where I learned about your website. I’m sharing it with everyone. Thank you for your commitment to excellence. Be patient in your healing process. I know its hard for fitness junkies like us. Your LE brothers and sisters are here for you thanks to this website. A female Stockton PD officer went though major reconstructive surgery on her face (Ofc. Sailais (sp?) after an on duty crash that nearly took her life. She’s back to work and beautiful. I hope you can meet her too, to help ease your worries. God Bless you.
