Bootleg Canyon's Brent Thompson Fundraiser

Donations to PayPal Account Requested to Offset Enormous Hospital Bill from Quad Bypass Surgery

Those who have participated in Interbike’s Outdoor Demo Days know the tortuous trails of Bootleg Canyon all too well. Earlier this week, Brent Thomson, Bootleg Canyon’s Trail Master, suffered a heart attack and underwent quadruple bypass surgery on January 14th. To help offset the healthcare cost, a PayPal account has been set up for those willing to contribute.

Boulder City, NV - Brent Thomson, Godfather and Trail Master of Bootleg Canyon suffered a heart attack last Saturday while riding the trails that he has famously cut into the mountains surrounding Boulder City, a stones throw from Las Vegas, Nevada.

While he is currently resting under doctors care in the hospital, Brent is scheduled for the second Quadruple bypass in his life. Sixteen years ago he had the same surgery performed due to an unusually high hereditary cholesterol build-up.

Brent's Job Provides No Health Insurance - PayPal Donations Needed
"I try to stay in reasonable shape, and was even riding when I started to feel chest pain and severe shortness of breath," says Thomson.

"My assistant Andrew helped me out and my son Barret got me to the hospital pretty quickly. Now I'm just waiting to go under the knife."

While everyone who has ridden the trails at Bootleg can attest, Brent's dedication to creating, maintaining and promoting the trails of Bootleg Canyon has created one of the most lauded riding areas in the Southwest. Unfortunately his position comes without a health insurance policy.
Brent's hospital expenses are estimated to grow to hundreds of thousands of dollars, so any help that his friends in the bicycle industry can provide will be graciously appreciated.
