I was informed today by Kory's wife that he was hit by a vehicle while out running this morning and has multiple serious injuries.  He is in the hospital and he and his family could use all your prayers at this tough time in their lives. 

God bless you Kory! 

Certainly will do. Please keep us updated if you find out anything more, Jeff.

Thank you so much for telling us Jeff.  What  shock. 

Wow... we will definitely pray for him and his family. I am glad you shared.

Kory is a great man who truly loves and cares for everyone - let's all pray for the best for him and his family.

Thanks, for the information.  I will keep him in my prayers.  Kory is a great guy please keep us posted.

Kory is doing well in the hospital at this time after undergoing surgery yesterday.  I talked to him and he was in good spirits but is in pain and will be facing a long recovery.   His family is doing ok considering all they have been through lately so really still need everyone's prayers.

The first thing Kory asked me was to call the Pocatello marathon RD to make sure someone else could get his spot in the race next weekend...that's Kory, always thinking of others first! 

Thanks for letting us know.  I hope he recovers well.  He and his family have gone through more than their fair share lately.

Thank you for keeping us posted Jeff.  He and his family will be prayed for.

That is scary.  Hope he is able to do a full recovery.

Here is an article about Kory in the Idaho State Voice.  This just shows what a good man Kory is and how focused he is on ensuring God is in his life and his actions.  He is an example for all of us!

Wow, that article literally brought tears to my eyes. I am so thankful that he's will be okay, and moreover am inspired by his attitude and in his giving God glory through all this.

Wow.  Thanks for sharing that Jeff.  Read the article and I'm still a little choked up.  I cannot imagine the level of humility and compassion it would require to comfort someone who seconds earlier had nearly snatched the life out of you- all while he was experiencing tremendous physical pain.  What an awesome example of human kindness.  Here's to a full and speedy recovery for Kory.

what Paul said.

All my best for Kory, may you have a speedy recovery.

Didn't know there were still people like that in this world.  We are all fortunate there are.  Get better quickly Kory!

all I can say is what everyone just said... and wow. We will keep praying!

thanks for the post Jeff- what a great testimony and presence of mind to be able to glorify God each step of the way!

Kory, blessings my brother- get better soon!

I'm so glad that Kory is doing well (relatively). My only interaction with him was sitting next to him for 24 hours during the 2008 Wasatch Back. I love how positive you are Kory and how tough minded. I read your blog for inspiration.

I remember Kory had the "you gotta be kidding me" leg, right before ragnar. He was absolutely crushing it and we pulled up next to him to give him some water. He yelled "This is my hill, my hill!" and threw the water bottle on the ground. Then he stopped turned around and picked it up again, because he didn't want to litter. I viewed that moment right there as a brilliant balance between singleminded intensity and consideration for others.

Also, it's sad that he has to be hit by a car, but it's nice to see someone like Kory get an article about him (like the article about Paul earlier this summer).

All the best to you and your family Kory. Our prayers are with you. That was such a nice article. Your a great man, husband and father.
