| Ernest Evans in happier times. |
From a VALLEY NEWS story last winter about former Dartmouth quarterback Ernest Evans '16:
Evans was off to a shining start with a national reinsurance company downtown. He was fit, handsome, charismatic and driven. And, in the blink of an eye, he was fighting for his life.
It was in June of 2017, reporter Tris Wykes wrote, that Evans was found one night "unresponsive and with the back of his skull fractured" alongside a roadway in Santa Monica, Calif. A traumatic brain injury left Ernest and his family facing a long and difficult struggle.
More from the Valley News story:
"Ernest Evans Sr. said he believes his son hears everything that’s said around him, 'but if he knows who’s saying it or recognizes who’s talking, I don’t know that. Right now, all the things that make Ernest Ernest are not intact.' "In the days after Evans' injury former Dartmouth teammate Chai Reece set up a GoFundMe campaign to help Ernest and his family.
Your incredible generosity has made a real difference in their lives. It has been almost two years since Evans' injury and significant progress is being made.
Look carefully at the first thing Ernest wrote for his therapist after writing his own name:
Ernest and his family still have a long, long way to go and progress like this doesn't come without significant expense. The Ernest Evans GoFundMe campaign has been quiet for the past six months but the fight continues for Ernest.
