Pella, Iowa July 02, 2009 -- A famous and inspirational Celiac leader, advocate,
and icon was involved in a life-threatening biking accident near Pella, Iowa on
Tuesday.
(Theodore) Earl Ley, a coordinator for the Seattle Celiacs, raises
awareness for the disease by conducting cross country bike rides.
He was on the
middle stage of his most recent 2000 mile trip from Seattle when he wrecked his
bike.
He was taken Tuesday to the hospital in Pella (near Des Moines), where they
are working on him around the clock.
In the accident he broke several ribs,
collapsed his lung, broke his pelvic bone, and required a breathing tube.
Fortunately for Earl, he has had quality medical attention from the start, and is
hoping to recover.
Another luck charm; Earl was wearing a protective helmet, which
saved his life.
The helmet was destroyed in the accident,
