Scheduled for Monday

New Berlin, NY (7/30/06) - Jeremiah Jones
headed into this weekend of racing with high hopes for
a chance at the ATVA National Motocross Championship,
but sadly, he was involved in a horrific crash in the
first turn of the second Moto, which left him with a broken
back and no feeling below the waist.
Jeremiah Jones was rushed to the Bassett Trauma Center
in Cooperstown, NY, and it has been determined that
his back in the T10-T12 region was damaged, which resulted
in some spinal cord damage as well. As a result, Jeremiah
will undergo surgery on Monday, July 31st at Noon to
repair the damaged vertebrate and determine the extent
of the damage to his spinal cord.
At this point, the probably of Jeremiah ever racing
or even walking again are very grim, but not without
hope. The Jones family are calling for our prayers for
Jeremiah as it is right now his best chance for a miracle.
I have been in constant communication with the Suzuki
team, and as more details become available tomorrow
after the surgery, I will post an update on his condition.
Until then, my request to everyone is just take a moment
of their time and pray for one of the nicest guys to
ever race an ATV, Jeremiah Jones because he needs them
now more than ever.
