Alpha Gamma chapter in their Aidan Strong shirts.
August 7th, Aidan Bradley, Delaware ’20, was hit by a train on campus.
Aidan is a senior and the son of alumnus Christopher Bradley, Delaware ’94. Over the summer, Aidan was walking home by the train tracks and was struck by a train passing through campus.
As a result, Aidan lost his right arm and right leg. After multiple surgeries, he is recovering, though there is a long road ahead. Details of the accident are unclear, as much of Aidan’s memory of the night was lost to injury trauma.
The Alpha Gamma chapter has been working closely with other groups on campus to provide Aidan with financial support during his recovery. The chapter reports that Aidan is handling the injury well and thriving in physical therapy. The family coined the phrase “Aidan Strong” due to his “incredibly” positive attitude.
We wish Aidan all the best in his recovery, and our thoughts are with the chapter and his family through this difficult time.
If you are able, the family is collecting donations here.
