HEATHER CLARK HIT BY DRUNK DRIVER
Former ASP World Tour surfer suffers life-threatening injuries; friends and family form fundraisers
|
|
Last Thursday night, Heather Clark,
one of South Africa's best female surfers and a former ASP World Tour surfer, suffered life-threatening injuries in a major car accident.
Heather was heading home from a friend's house around 10 p.m. when the suspect collided with her car. She was admitted to the intensive care unit and has been moved to a general ward since then, though she has already acquired a hefty load of medical expenses. |

From ASP and Surfing South Africa donating funds to Mick Fanning auctioning one of his boards on eBay, friends and family have found ways to raise money in order to help Heather, who finished No. 3 in the world in 2003. Here in the United States, Chris Grant of Jettygirl.com has raised over $1,700 to donate towards Heather's medical bills and if you' like to contribute to the fund, please visit Heather's Benefit page. Just one dollar counts. Heather's family has released this statement: Heather and her family are very touched by the awesome love and support shown by everyone all over the world. A huge thank you to all of you who have contributed towards the fund -- thank you so much! The hospital costs are already quite formidable and they require most of the costs upfront which is a daunting prospect for the family. Heather was also supposed to have started her swimming school next week and now will not be able to do so, which means a loss of income for her. Please help where you can and spread the word -- every little bit, no matter how insignificant you might think it would be, help. Your contributions despite the economic recession mean a great deal to Heather and her family. MORE WOMENS SURFLINE HOME PAGE |
