Jimmy Levan Update!

Bdubs aka. Ben Ward posted this up on myspace, so I am forwarding it to you dudes

A very close friend of mine and a Legend in the BMX Community, Jimmy Levan has suffered a serious head injury in a skateboarding accident.

“His insurance will not cover the rehabilitation he needs and a fund has been set up to help him. Jimmy is doing a lot better but is very confused and cannot recall alot of the last year. He is going to need to go to a rehabilitation centre for serious brain injuries, I was talking with his mom today and we are going to see if we can get him into a centre in jfk edison under some sort of charity or low earning fund, but this will cost $70.000. $40,000 before and the rest after.”

Empire BMX is going to match any donation given to the Help Jimmy Fund, so even if its $10 dollars it will all make a difference.
