Tim from Chartwell

Hello - on Monday at about 6:40 AM my wife came off her bike along River Road just north of Queenwood Avenue. She was seriously injured and is now in hospital. She was assisted by a group of others, including a peloton of cyclists who came by, and a couple of others. She would like to thank them and ask for help locating an item that she's missing - please would any of them reading this message make contact with me.
