Amy Rankin, daughter of Former Lansing High School Principal William Rankin, was a young teacher with a promising future until October 30, 2004. Amy and her friend were walking home from a restaurant when a drunk driver lost control of his truck and hit them.  Her friend was killed instantly.  Amy was struck in the head by the truck receiving severe trauma to the head, a punctured lung and a large contusion to her right knee. 

Amy was taken by ambulance to Franklin Square Hospital and immediately airlifted to the University of Maryland Hospital Shock Trauma Unit and had emergency surgery that night to relieve the pressure on her brain.  She was in the Shock Trauma Intensive Care Unit for 20 days following surgery.  She remained in a coma until December 19th and underwent another surgery on Feb 02, 2005. After her recovery she was moved to St. Camillus for rehabilitation where she made steady progress until she was released June 30th of this year. 

Amy has continued to receive therapy at home since her release from St. Camillus and is presently receiving her therapy there as an outpatient.
A Benefit for Amy will be held at the Sennett Fire House on September 25, 2005 from 1:00 to 6:00 PM.
