Hi Everyone,
If you were not aware, Chris suffered an unfortunate injury during the 2010 Run Amuck Race during the Reno River Festival (05/08/2010). He sustained skull fractures and a broken neck during the race. The severity of his injury, and other details surrounding the incident, are pending at this time.
Chris is currently in the I.C.U. at Renown in Reno, NV. This is a tragic time for everyone who has been fortunate enough to know Chris, and we're hoping for a fast, and moreover successful recovery. Please send him your thoughts, prayers, and support.
More updates will follow as time progresses, and more information becomes available. Feel free to post your questions, support, and prayers for him on this blog.
Thanks again for all of your support.

Chris and Chapman family, We just found out about Chris's accident. We were in Reno that weekend at the national bowling tournament and went to the riverfest. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I still think of Chris as the the little boy with the big voice asking for a popsicle at the little league game. It still makes me laugh everytime I think about it. Your friends in Montana, Jim and DeeAyn Baillie and family
