So, the very unexpected happened after an inspiring 5K walk in Baltimore to support ALS research. Colin – while chasing birds around a fountain at Power Plant Live – tripped and braced his fall on a manhole cover. He screamed out in pain, and it turns out he got second-degree burns on the palms of his hands. There was no indication the cover was hot – no steam, no extreme sunny weather. So, be careful with your kids playing around them.

He was a real trooper, spending 24 hours in the children’s wing of Johns Hopkins Medical Center. It was a gorgeous facility, funded by Michael Bloomberg and the UAE’s own Sheikh Zayed, with amazing staff to make the stay and follow-up visits as smooth as they could be.
