“No matter how short the journey is, or the cost of a helmet, it’s essential,” he said. “Even for kids, no matter how short the trip, they must wear a helmet.”
He continued, “I’m fortunate to be standing here. I’m in pain. It’s been a brutal week, and I’m just getting through it,” Ramsay said.
“But I cannot stress enough the importance of wearing a helmet.”

I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses, and staff at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London who took care of me and checked me out. Most of all, I’m grateful for my helmet, which saved my life. Have a great Father’s Day and be safe. Gx”
