As many of you know, but some may not, a good friend of mine and fellow member was in a very serious accident last december. It was a rainy day and his SRT was hit from behind which spun him into the oncomming lane where he was T-Boned at full speed. The person who hit him took off and was never caught. The accident fractured 10 of his vertibrea and cracked 9 ribs along with a lot of cuts and bruises. The impact was so severe that his seat broke and the paramedics had to pull him out of the back seat of his car. He is currently paralyzed from the waist down. The accident left him in the hospital for over 4 months, he was discharged and shortly after placed back in the hospital for infections and fever caused by the accident. Over the past 6 months he has almost died 3 times, due to the accident and then severe fever cause by infections. His parents were forced to take time off of work to spend with him in the hospital and they spent 10's of thousands of dollars renovating his house to make it wheelchair accesable for him when he came home. They are in great need of some financial help, since it will be a long time until his insurance gives him anything

The story about the accident was posted right after it happened and a lot of memebers said they wanted to help out. I am posting this to give people the chance to help him out, if anyone would be able to donate some money to help him out it would be greatly appreciated by him, his family and his friends. In addition we will be having a beef and beer benifit to raise some money for him, i will post information on that when the time comes closer, if any venders or anyone would want to donate products for a raffle that would also be appreciated.

Thank you all for your time.
