Jemery Lusk R.I.P.

Follow-up (as posted on Jeremy Lusk Blog):

It is with great sadness that we report Jeremy Lusk succumbed to his injures tonight (2/9/09) at 11:03pm

PST. He was surrounded by his loving Mother and father, Chuck & Gina Lusk, his wonderful wife Lauren, his

mother and father in law Lyne & Larry along with his closest Mulisha friends Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy,

Cameron Steele & Erik Apple. He is now with our Heavenly Father and is at peace. We know he is

performing sick tricks for all those in Heaven to crowds greater than we have ever seen. We will miss you

Pitbull!

I'm sure most of you already heard about or saw the video of Jeremy Lusk's disturbing crash last night at the X-Knights contest in Costa Rica. It's hard to watch. Jeremy's condition is critical and the latest we've heard is that he's out of surgery and they're waiting for the swelling to go down on his brain. Apple, Fluffer and Cameron Steele are on there way down there to help so we should have more info from them soon. In the meantime, stay up to date on Jeremy's condition at the   Pray for Jeremy Lusk Blog.

An emergency fund to help defer the costs of Jeremy Lusk's medical care has already been established and

is set up to take donations immediately. Through the quick-moving efforts of the Athlete Recovery Fund,

those interested in making a donation may do so by visiting athleterecoveryfund.com and clicking on the

"make a donation" button. All donations made through this website, starting TODAY, are earmarked directly

for Jeremy Lusk's care!

Financial arrangements are being put into place to pay for the Medi-Vac international air transportation that

Jeremy will need once he is stable and can be transferred to a leading United States-based Head Trauma

Center. It is likely that these funds will be needed within the next few days, therefore immediate donations

are certainly appreciated.

Your support and comments are appreciated. Pray for Jeremy-right now that's the best way any of us can

really help.
