UPDATE ON CHARLIE ST. CLAIR
The Laconia Motorcycle Week Association would like to share an update on Executive Director Charlie St. Clair, who was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday, August 4.
One week after the accident, Charlie remains hospitalized in Cleveland, Ohio. While his injuries are severe, he is stable and continues to receive excellent medical care from the team at MetroHealth Medical Center. Out of respect for Charlie’s privacy, we will not be sharing additional details regarding his condition at this time.
We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of prayers, well wishes, and messages of support from friends, riders, industry partners, and the extended motorcycle community from across the country and world. The kindness and compassion shown over the past week has been truly humbling. We sincerely believe that the positive thoughts and encouragement being sent Charlie’s way are making a difference, and we ask that you continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he begins the long road to recovery.
Many people have reached out asking how they can help and whether there will be an opportunity to support Charlie during his recovery. We are currently working with our local legal counsel to establish a GoFundMe that will help support Charlie’s recovery efforts. Once those details have been finalized, we will share them through the official Laconia Motorcycle Week communication channels ( ).
On behalf of Charlie, his family, and the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association, thank you for your continued support, compassion, and patience during this difficult time. If you would like to send a "get well" card to Charlie, please feel free to send it in his name to PO Box 5416, Laconia, NH 03247.
