help support Weston by making a tax-deductible
donation (link below). All funds raised will go
towards his substantial medical bills and the
medical air transport.
The Peick family's main goal is to get Weston
back home to the States as safely as possible
so he can get back to doing what he loves most,
racing. Weston's road back to racing will be a long
and difficult one; but one that will be achievable
with the support from family, friends and fans. Any
contribution towards Peick's R2R-Fund is greatly
appreciated and will go a long way. He and his
family are very grateful for all the love, prayer and
positive thoughts everyone has sent his way.

Weston Peick is recovering nicely at Hôpital Pitié-
Salpêtrière after a seven-hour surgery to address
his multiple facial fractures that concluded late
yesterday evening. This surgery went longer than
expected due to the extensive trauma to and
around his eyes and nose. According to Peick's
doctors his second surgery was a success. They
were able to repair all the damage he sustained
and expect to remove his tracheostomy tube as
early as Tuesday, November 27th. With a pos-
sible release date as early as Friday, November
30th if he meets all release requirements.
Due to the successfully second surgery that
had no complications and the proficient surgical-
ly staff, once the tracheostomy tube is removed
Peick will be cleared for non-medical assisted
air transport. He will be required to have non-
assisted commercial air transport but that will be
a fraction of the expected cost. Peick will have
a long road to a full recovery once he's back in
California. According to his Paris surgeons, the
damage he sustained to his right eye will require
treatment from a specialist and he will need
another less invasive nose surgery once the
swelling has gone down.
