Woman thanks athletes who helped carry her to safety after a hiking accident

I just wanted to thank the three athletes who helped carry me back to the car after I broke my ankle hiking through the potholed Madonna field. I would have required a helicopter rescue and been on the evening news if not for them. Sad news is that it will require surgery and pins. In the meantime, I’m hobbling around on crutches. It was better being carried. Thanks sooooo much.
