Welcome To Addies Angels Page

Our friend Addie Killam was paralyzed in an accident while vacationing in Hawaii over spring break. During a surfing lesson Addie became paralyzed from the ribs down.

Addie was treated at Craig Hospital in Colorado which specializes in Spinal Cord injuries. While in treatment some amazing people worked on a West Seattle home to get it good and wheelchair accessible.

Addie is ramping up to do the Mike Utley Foundation’s Dam2Dam fundraising ride. More information on how you can help support Addie's ride is coming shortly so check back with us.

Any well wishes for Addie or her family should go to her Caring Bridge Site-Link listed to the left of the page.

Hi! Happy Good Day to you all!

I am not sure if you are already on the list to help make Addie's house handicap accessible, but if you can help or if you know somebody who could or would be available - please pass the info on.

There are some mighty fine Angels at home in Seattle working very hard to help Miss Addie get her house available for her. Thank you for your love, prayers & support - We can not imagine how much more difficult this task would be without our wonderful Angel community.

Once again, everyone who showed up to work on getting Addie's house ready for her, or donated supplies, materials or food were an inspiration and a testament to the goodness of the human spirit. Lots of good work is getting done amid smiles, laughter and determination. Your generosity and spirit is what fuels me through the days following each work party! Love to you all!
