Granted, almost all injuries are 'relative' but pointing that out is not helpful. His injuries are extremely serious and life changing. Don't lose sight of this. This is about Marc.

Wow, This has been an unreal season for injuries. Hopefully something more can be done.

Anyone that has watched in awe MAB's skiing prowess in my opinion is obligated to help a man that suffered a tragic accident trying to push the sport we all love.

donation sent as well.

dont sponsors kick down for insurance policies? I would hope so.

It's the volume of donations that will make this work, not big amounts. Please help in any small way to make a big difference. Marc is living the personal hell of all of us.

If the fundraising website people are reading this: a paypal account address would be good, as many here are accustomed to using it.

I donated as well. I'd never even heard of that Lars guy before. Heres hoping his road to recovery gets easier too.

Done. Thank you Marc for all of the stoke over the years. Every now and then, when I'm standing at the top of a line, Hang Loose pops in my head...it's then that I smile and drop in.

my heart goes out to marc. it sounds like he is a good man that can work through this. just look what stacey kohut accomplished and is still accomplishing with his life after his accident. he rips way harder than i do. i'd be in for chipping in for a sit ski that he can strap a 190 sumo onto and keep blowin minds.

chin up bro it's not over by a long shot.

Holy shit. I don't know what to say except this is horrible and Marc is probably the most down to earth and nicest of any of the pro skiers I have met in my day so far. That and an amazing skier. If anyone can get through this and still have a smile on his face it's him. I hope for the best for Marc-Andre.
