Kevin Kearney went out to the beach to enjoy his favorite watersport, kiteboarding. Among several of his friends Kevin rode as usual. While coming onto the beach to land his kite a sudden gust of wind lofted Kevin into the air before slamming his body onto the beach. In a matter of seconds Kevin was once again lofted and tossed at high speed in excess of two hundred feet away and into a concrete wall, crossing two lanes of automotive traffic!

Critically injured, Kevin was rushed to a local area hospital where he underwent numerous proceedures to stabilize him. Now, just lucky to be alive, Kevin begins the long road of recovery. Kevin's family and friends are asking for your assistance during his recovery. Please feel free to send Kevin your well wishes and good cheer as he can surely use it.
