Quinn Strong!

Our Community’s Hero needs us!

After all the help and care he has given others in his 24 years, it is our time to help Quinn.

Since he was a child, Quinn Adamek (son of Kevin and Amy (Aschauer) Adamek) has always wanted to help other people. As a young child he always sensed when someone was sad or ill and tried to comfort them. He’d been a buddy athlete for children with disabilities and a lifeguard at both the Burlington Pool and Wellness Center. After high school, Quinn pursued his dream of becoming a firefighter/EMT and served on the Lyons Fire Department, Curtis Ambulance and currently serves Waterford, WI as a full time member of their Fire Department. Quinn has been teaching fire safety for all the kids in Waterford for the last four years. It’s likely you’ve seen him in parades and at most of the EMS and Fire calls in the area.

On Saturday, May 23, 2026, Quinn was involved in a motorcycle accident which left him with severe injuries, including injuries to his spinal cord. He is currently in the surgical ICU Unit of Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee, WI. He underwent extensive surgery to fuse neck vertebrae C2-C7. This has left Quinn with no sensation/use of his legs and lower body and extremely limited use of his upper body. He also has numerous other injuries to be addressed, one at a time, including broken ribs, clavicle, wrist, knee, and facial injuries.

Quinn’s healing and learning process will be lifelong, from here on out. He will need to learn a new way of life. He will need extensive medical care including additional surgeries and extended stays in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Quinn will need access to many, many types of adaptive equipment and various therapies to remain healthy and maintain a positive outlook.

Please help us reach our goal to help Quinn and his family with the immediate and future costs they will incur as they navigate their new and very challenging path. We know Quinn will want to find a way to help others again, some day. Please help him do so.
