It is heartwarming to hear that after the issue of her medical bills which was around 200,000 dollars and then when the request for donations happened almost immediately the medical bills were paid off and now there will be a charity setup in her name which is simply amazing.
It was a very horrible day on Thursday when the news broke that freestyle skier Sarah Burke had passed away after her crash during practice last Wednesday in Utah when one of the arteries sending blood and oxygen to the brain was ruptured. It was supposed to be all about her two years from now at the Olympics in Sochi city, Russia where her half pipe event is going to be put in the Winter Olympics and she was the spoke person for that cause.
In closing it was sad that none of her coaches were at the sponsored practice setup by Monster energy drink and maybe if a coach was there maybe the incident may of been avoided and in two years she would of been all over Canadian TV and radio so that she would of had her moment in the spotlight.
Sad day take a long time to be taken over by happy days
