Karen Cooper wanted me to post this letter she is having computer/website difficulties. It was copied and pasted from ATVscene. We wish Nathan a speedy recovery and he will be in our prayers.
An open letter from Jorge Cuartas, Casey Martin, Caleb Moore, & Wes Miller re: Nathan Commer rumor control
Hello everybody, we just wanted to squash the rumor mill before it gets out of control. Nathan had a pretty nasty crash while attending a race in Argentina on Sunday afternoon. Nathan suffered some swelling in his spinal cord, but no tears, breaks, or anything else that would indicate permanent paralysis. Initially, as a result of the impact, he had no feeling below the neck, within minutes however, he had feeling and movement in all of his extremities. Nathan is currently in ICU in the best hospital in this side of the country and improving daily, the doctors all agree that he should be back to normal shortly. We are seeing vast improvements on an hourly basis. He's sitting up, eating solid food, coherent, and generally in good shape under the circumstances. We're doing everything in our power to get him home safely and as quickly as possible. We hope to be home by the weekend. The rumor mill is doing nothing but complicating things, if you really want to help, send cash to the 88 live to ride fund care of "save Commer from the savages". For real, send loot, this is expensive stuff.
Thanks,
Jorge, Wes, Casey, & Caleb
Thanks,
Jorge Cuartas
