Fundraiser Created For Batavia Mom Critically Injured In Bike Crash

BATAVIA, IL — A fundraiser has been created to raise money for a Batavia mother who was hospitalized after she was hit by a minivan while biking across Route 31 Tuesday.

A group of White's friends created the GoFundMe as a way to raise funds for the family while she is in the hospital, according to its description.

White was about to exit Les Arends Forest Preserve to cross Batavia Avenue toward Millview Drive when she was struck by a minivan driving north on Batavia Avenue, Patch reported. The bicyclist was airlifted in critical condition to a hospital in Downers Grove.

Fundraiser organizers described White as a "mother to 5 wonderful children, a loving wife, and dear friend to many."

"She would be the first to offer assistance to anyone hurting or in need," the campaign reads.

In the two days since its creation, about 300 people have donated more than $20,000, nearly making the GoFundMe campaign's $25,000 goal.
