Encinitas, calif. (October 21, 2019) – On October 9, 2019, Micky Dymond sustained a traumatic brain injury when he crashed on his bicycle during a training ride in Orange County, California. Even though Dymond was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, he still sustained extensive head trauma that caused subdural brain contusions and subarachnoid hemorrhaging that rendered Micky unconscious for nearly fifteen minutes at the scene of the accident. He came to briefly, only to go back to being unconscious upon arrival at the ICU. He woke up five days later. After spending the first week unconscious in ICU, and another week in a neurotrauma unit, Dymond is on the next steps of his road to recovery.
In addition to his head injury, Micky also sustained a broken collarbone, broken ribs, damage to his hip, a deep laceration to his head and large amounts of road rash. At this time, Dymond is under 24-hour care and is being treated for MRSA in the Neuro Trauma Unit at OC Global. The goal is to get him admitted into an acute rehabilitation facility in the Orange County, CA area to help him heal and combat the long-term effects of TBI (traumatic brain injury).
Unfortunately, Dymond does not have medical insurance and is expected to have insurmountable medical expenses. Therapy, coupled with a two-week stay in the hospital, and the fact that Dymond won’t be able to work for months to come, all add up to a long and expensive recovery for Micky and his family. If you are able to support him, please make a tax-deductible donation to his cause here. Funds donated to Dymond's cause will go directly to cover the mounting medical expenses he incurs.
Please leave a positive message for Micky Dymond on his Road 2 Recovery cause page. Any and all prayers and positive vibes are appreciated and needed.
Micky and his family are grateful for any donation. Please find the Road 2 Recovery donation page here.

When I post these, it’s for the people who might actually want to help. Not for the people who don’t know the difference between social media and anti-social media.
Most importantly, GODSPEED.

Hell, even with insurance, Mickey would still be in a world of shit with the injuries he has suffered. Something so simple as a bicycle ride gone wrong could screw 99.9% of us here.
Now, off to R2R to donate. I like what Jimmy Button and family have done to give something back and Mickey is still a moto hero. I've got my own issues right now, but I can still swing a Benjamin his way.
MYOB! Stick to the obvious recovery efforts going on here. He's a National Motocross Champion who rides a bicycle for exercise. I'd say he's calmed down a bit and life doesn't involve near the risk that it used to.
Cheers to all those who have donated. Hoping he heals up soon and can get back on a bicycle.
Anyone who is road biking across America and doing advertised MX and Supermoto events is not a regular injury risk client. This is a high risk even if the professional days are far behind.
With that said, I hope the best for him and his recovery. Something like this must be super hard on the family.
That being said, I'm sending a hundy his way to help. Hope others do as well if they can.
With that said, all the best to Micky for a full and speedy recovery.
Same goes for car insurance, boat insurance, umbrella policy, home insurance..etc- I hate paying this stuff as much as the next guy.
Best of luck to Micky and a lesson to others who don't carry insurance (except you wont get a R2R fund).
Heal up Mickey.

Really hope things work out oneway or another financially somehow and most of all a full physical recovery can be achieved.
It is unbelievable to not have insurance for your health but I was a month from doing it.
I think more than not are in the same place.
Unbelievable indeed.
