Trent Wierick

An Evening for Healers 2014

When physical therapist Trent Wierick left work at LSU Health Shreveport on June 14, 2012, he wasn’t expecting to return in quite the way he did. Out on a training ride with friends that evening, the cyclist collided with a pickup truck as he tried to navigate a sharp turn onto Stonewall-Frierson Road. Just hours after he left, Trent was back at LSU Health Shreveport with life-threatening injuries to his chest and lungs. Trent fought through severe pain to regain his strength and is back on his bike, even competing in Ironman competitions.
