<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">One of the Ski Otters (Josh Millard) had a downhill ski accident last weekend.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I wanted to send something out for two reasons:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">A) I know he partaken in several of Rochester shows and also River Rats - and many other teams over the years</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">B) We are inviting all team to our site this summer for a benefit show</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">No one knows the details of the accident - other than that he hit a tree - suffering fractures to his spine, a concussion, and broken ribs.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">He has been battling many things over the last week (including pneumonia) - however, things are starting to look up for him as he is off his respirator and the family is hoping to airlift him home this week. (he will be at Sister Kenny Rehab facility) He has no feeling in his legs, and there is still some uncertainty as to whether or not he ever will. He will be confined to a wheelchair for now, and for the near future.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Among other things, our team is going to be doing a Fund-Raiser show for Josh and his family. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are still in the process of developing this event, but I wanted to send out an invite (and a heads-up) to all teams.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are looking at the weekend of August 27-28</font>
