Injured Rider - Yannick Crete Needs help

[KTMissouri]

I have been contacted by the family of Yannick Crete from Sawyerville, Quebec Canada. Yannick was a very accomplished professional MX rider in Canada. Unfortunately he was injured on 7/31/2005. His back was broken and he is now paralyzed from the mid chest down. He has adapted well and is moving on with his life. He is only 21 years old.

The good news is that the health care system in Canada is free to all. The bad news is that it does not cover most on going living expenses.

I was wondering if there are any folks in Canada out there that could get involved and see what we can do to get some support going for Yannick and his family.

Yannick, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are in the very early stages of building a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) sub-forum which should be a very valuable resource. Please come back & visit often, we would welcome your input.

Also, as Shawn requested, if there is anyone out there who is more familiar with Canadian support services we would really appreciate hearing from you.
