Thomas Hooper's friend in a accident

Thomas Hooper is a tattoo artist who tattoos in New York Adorned and he needs our help. Message that he send in myspace

Three weeks ago a very close friend of mine jimmy levan suffered a serious head injury in a skateboarding accident, he was in a come for two weeks.

Just a quick update on Jimmy's progress and his fund raising so far since
his accident.

The good news is that Jimmy has been progressing pretty well since he came out his coma last week and sounds better each time I talk to him on the phone. He has been transferred from the ICU at Morristown Memorial Hospital to the JFK Brain Rehabilitation Institute and is up, shuffling around and piecing his memory back together. It'll be a long road to recovery but we are lucky that he is in the best rehab center for his injuries and has great friends behind him.

The bad news is that Jimmy's insurance WILL NOT cover his rehab program
which he just checked into. The estimated total of the rehab bills is estimated at $70,000 at least and that's coming out of his family's pocket.

As you know EmpireBMX is matching donations to the Jimmy fund and now
Odyssey is matching what Empire matches, so we are talking trippling whatever you donate!

The Empire fund match ends at the end of the business day on Friday so if
you haven't donated to the fund already, now would be the time to do it!

If any of you have websites or bloggs, feel free to post any of this
information and photos to help Jimmy out, we have to give this total a shot!

Here's the link to EmpireBMX to donate
