Pro rider Brad Smeele

[JLG]

I just ran across this and was touched by this video. I'm sure some on here know about the accident but here are a couple links with information. For those that haven't seen it, its about pro wakeboarder brad smeele who landed and then was paralyzed after re attempting a new trick at a course in florida back in july 2014.

There is a link on the site to donate as him like other pro riders don't have much for insurance if any as they won't cover "PRO Athletes" I have a family member that is paralyzed and know the impact the bills can take on a family. If you feel it out of the kindness of your heart to donate I'm sure the family would greatly appreciate.
