Every year several ED staff, residents, and their family support this local ride. Join former Yale EM Chief Resident, Melanie Lippmann, on the annual Sharon’s ride. Below is a note from Melanie:

I would like to invite all of you to join me on a bike ride in West Haven on Sunday, May 5th to support the Epilepsy Foundation of CT (please see website for more details: https://www.epilepsyct.com/sharon.php). Sharon’s Ride was started by my aunt and uncle, two neurologists, who are interested in raising public awareness of the importance of bicycle helmets and bicycle safety to prevent TBI and seizure disorders, and in the process raise money to support epilepsy research and local branches of the Epilepsy Foundation. This ride has now spread to a number of cities across the country, including a CT site in the New Haven area. We all take care of patients in the ED on nearly a daily basis who have TBI and epilepsy. I think this is a wonderful cause to support. Thanks to all of you who joined me on this ride in West Haven last spring. I hope we can have an even better Yale ED turn out this May, and in the years to come.
I will make a donation on behalf of the Yale ED, so if you don’t want to contribute, you can still come along and ride for free. Of course, donations to the Epilepsy Foundation (which can be made ahead of time on the Sharon’s Ride website, or on location on the day of the ride) are also much appreciated. Regardless, please come join us for a fun bike ride along the waterfront of the West Haven, Orange, and Milford region. This is not a race, and is a very family-friendly event. However, in addition to the 20 mile ride, and the 3 mile fun run/ walk offered last year, we have expanded this year to also include a 50 mile ride for the more avid cyclers. Absolutely bring along your spouses, kids, and friends. There will be music and food on site following the ride. Please contact me at anytime if you have any questions, and let me know if you are interested in participating. I am very much looking forward to coming back to New Haven for this event, and hope to see a lot of you there. Many thanks!

Yale, which has the oldest college hockey program in the country, won its first NCAA championship Saturday night by defeating the neighboring Quinnipiac University Bobcats.  It was an improbable series as Yale went as the #15 seed and had to defeat the second and third seeds on the way to the #1 Quinnipiac, whose rink is only 8 miles from Yale’s rink.

Congratulations to the Bulldogs!
