Hey everyone!
Long time, no post and sorry I've popped on to ask you all for money but Scott Black was smashed off his bike last night and has been left with a broken collarbone. No big deal, haven't we all, some of you might be thinking, but this will have a massive impact.
Scott works two jobs to cover rent and his landlord literally just increased it by almost 20%. His jobs don't give him sick pay because he is a self-employed bike courier and he now can't work for a minimum of six weeks. It's been a general rotter of a year for Scott anyway and alongside not being able to get BRP moving again (no spare cash or time), he just keeps getting knocked back (this time literally) every time he tries to move forward.
Please, if you can spare anything at all, please donate to the GoFundMe I've set up for him.
This is as much a mental health support request as it is sending money to literally survive. This is not anything to do with BRP, this is purely for rent and food so Scott can heal quickly and get back work and eventually, to making this amazing bags we all want asap.
If you need a little extra motivation, every donation will be entered into a random number generator and the number selected will be offered a custom August Bicycles stem or coffee tamper as our way of saying thank you for lending support to one of our best friends.
Thanks so much guys and Scott, sorry if this is embarrassing as hell, but suck it up. You're loved and people want to help!
