Please spread to word for Laurie.
16-year-old Laurie Squirrell, the first female motocross racer to gain expert status in the United Kingdom, was seriously injured and left paralysed from the chest down while competing in the Women's Motocross Association World Cup in San Antonio, Texas last week.
After an extensive operation on Monday to stabilise her back injury, Laurie is in line to be evaluated for additional treatment at a clinic in Colorado or Israel.
Unfortunately, such treatment costs a lot of money.
In an effort to help Laurie and her family with the costs of this treatment, the motocross community has rallied together to start a donation and collection drive. If you wish to contribute to this, please do not hesitate to make a contribution to the following bank account:
Beneficiary: Laurie Squirrell
Bank: Barclays Bank
Sort code: 20 82 75
Account Number: 70820342
Branch: Stow Market / Needham Market
SWIFT Code (for transfers from overseas): BARCGB22
Charity auctions will be held on eBAY with rider equipment having been donated by a large number of professional riders in the sport. Details will be published soon. Any members of the public who wish to send Laurie words of encouragement, can do so to lauriesquirrell@eons.net, a mailbox set up for this purpose.

Not sure it's a good idea to put full bank details on a public forum. Might have been better to get it arranged some other way.
This kind of thing only encourages frauds, sorry to be a party pooper, but hey UI am an auditor after all ;)
Sorry to hear about the accident.

I agree.
Got the same kinda thing from somebody I work with last week, set up a registered charity. I contacted the appropriate bodies and was told that this was a fraud scam and there was no such registered charity!!
If this is real then I wish Laurie good health soon but sorry nobody's gettin my money on this occasion!!

I'm sorry if you think I have made this up, I'm not that sick to do something like that.
If you don't believe me see page 4 or 5 in this weeks MCN or page 2 in this weeks Trials and Motocross News.
I never asked you to make a comment, if you wish to remove the post then by all means do.
