Connor Lynch Legacy Foundation Donates $10,000 to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital to Support E-Bike Safety
Updated: 7 minutes ago
I'm incredibly proud to share that the Connor Lynch Legacy Foundation has donated $10,000 to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, supporting its Gear Up campaign, an initiative focused on improving e-bike and e-scooter safety among children and families.
The campaign is designed to increase awareness about the proper use of e-bikes and e-scooters, encourage safer riding behaviors, and actively engage families in injury prevention through education and outreach.
For me, this contribution represents much more than a financial gift. It's an opportunity to turn unimaginable loss into meaningful action, helping other families avoid the heartbreak of losing a child.
A Meaningful Day of Recognition
In addition to the foundation being recognized for its contribution to the Gear Up campaign, the visit also provided an opportunity to meet Dr. Beachgem, a pediatric emergency physician and passionate advocate for e-bike and e-scooter safety.
Through her educational outreach and advocacy, she has helped bring much-needed attention to the risks associated with these increasingly popular forms of transportation.
I have to admit, meeting her was a special moment for me! I've been a huge fan of her work and am so grateful that she's using her voice to advocate for an issue so close to my heart.
I'm deeply grateful to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital and the medical professionals who are working to educate families, promote safer riding habits, and prevent future tragedies.
Turning Connon's Legacy into Lasting Change
The Connor Lynch Legacy Foundation was born from my love for Connor and my determination to create positive change in the wake of tragedy.
Through education, advocacy, and partnerships with organizations that share our mission, we're committed to raising awareness about micromobility safety and helping protect children and families.
Supporting initiatives like Gear Up is an important part of that mission. By encouraging conversations about responsible riding, proper safety equipment, and the potential dangers of e-bikes and e-scooters, I hope we can make a lasting difference in communities everywhere.
Every helmet worn, every safety conversation started, and every injury prevented is another step toward a safer future.
Connor's legacy continues to inspire me every day, and it's my hope that the work we're doing in his name will help spare another family from experiencing the same devastating loss.
One helmet. One conversation. One life saved at a time.
