Normally we focus our articles on music and entertainment, but for Bryce Knapp we are making an exception. Kim Carney, Owner/Founder of Virtuosity Worldwide LLC has a dear friend, Tricia McChesney Baker, who lives in Randolph, New York. Tricia’s nephew, Bryce Knapp was recently in a tragic motorcycle accident and we want to help.
On March 10, 2022 Bryce, who is only 22 years old, was on his motorcycle returning to Camp Pendleton where he is stationed when he was involved in a tragic accident, which threw him off of his motorcycle and landed him in oncoming traffic. He was airlifted to Sharp Memorial Hospital where he spent six weeks in critical condition. Bryce, who was recently promoted to Lance Corporal, sustained many injuries and has had five surgeries so far. A GoFundMe was started so that Bryce’s Mom, Nana and brother Brayden could take time off of work and school to travel from New York to California to be with him.
Tricia reached out to her friend, Jessica DiMaria, who created the Knapp Strong t-shirts to be sold in order to raise money, as well as allow people to show their support for Bryce. Many people all over the United States have already purchased shirts and are proudly wearing them.
Bryce was recently transferred to the Wounded Warrior Center. Although it is a miracle that Bryce survived at all and was able to stand for this photo, he has a long and arduous journey ahead of him. Please consider donating to the fundraiser and/or purchasing a Knapp Strong shirt to help raise funds, so that Bryce’s Mom can stay with him and help him through his recovery.
