In case you haven't seen this, Jeremiah Jones was badly injured over the weekend
here's the text from that article
After really turning it up on the track with several WPSA and GNC wins in the month of July, the final weekend of the month did not go very well for Suzuki Yoshimura's Jeremiah Jones.
In a first turn collision during moto two at the recent Unadilla GNC, Jones found himself on the ground with a broken back. Doctors have determined that he has a displaced spinal cord between the T11 and T12 vertebrae. He has had no feeling below his waist since the accident on Sunday.
"Jeremiah has his head up. He is looking ahead and is not giving up. I doubt he will be giving up any time soon", said Ryan ***, Jeremiah's mechanic. "No mater what ends up happening he wants to remain involved in the ATV racing industry."
Surgeons at Baptist Trauma Center in Cooperstown, NY fused three of Jeremiah's vertebrae together. The T12 vertebra was severely out of alignment and because of this doctors feel the chance of him walking again are slim. Jeremiah is currently recovering from the surgery and will be sent to a rehabilitation center in Atlanta next week.
Our hearts and prayers continue to be with Jeremiah and his family during this horrible time.
If you would like to send something to Jeremiah and his family use the address below:
811 William Simmons Rd
Bowling Green, KY 42101
Several people have asked where they can send donations to help him and his family financially. As soon as these details are in order we'll let you know.
While we wait to hear how one of the most respected, fastest and nicest persons in this sport is doing, we thought you might like to check out some photos of Jeremiah - past and present, as well as a special video tribute to the multi-champion and arguably best ATV racer of all time.
