Nelson mountainbiker Jared Brown is facing an uncertain future after breaking his neck in a high-speed crash near Blenheim.

Jared was on Wednesday waiting for surgery in Burwood Hospital in Christchurch after crashing in a Marlborough Mountainbike Club downhill race at Strachan Peak north of Blenheim on Sunday. The 16-year-old Waimea College student was riding at 60kmh when he hit a rut and flew 20m over the handlebars, landing heavily on his head.

We're all crossing our fingers and thinking good thoughts for your recovery Jared.

Making A Difference
I've had a talk with his teacher and he suggested we get him DVDs + magazines. We thought that MTB DVDs and magazines wouldn't be the best right now.

So the aim is to get him lots of DVD and magazine vouchers from a major store so he can chose whatever entertainment he wants (I'm sure the Mafia can deliver)

Donate $5 to get Jared DVD and Book Vouchers
