Inspiration at its best

This video was made for Margo Gignac by her friends after she was in a tragic car accident. She suffered a dislocation of the spine between vertebrae C4 and C5 which has left Margo paralyzed from the shoulders down. She can feel her shoulders as well as flex the bicep in her left arm.
However, the Doctors at Jackson have advised, that the rehab will take a minimum of 18 months, as well as necessitating many needed special adjustments and accommodations to daily aspects of life.
As you can imagine the expenses are projected to be quite considerable, and even though Margo is covered by basic crash/collision insurance, she had no health insurance and certainly no long-term disability insurance and so the reality is that the financial burden is going to be quite massive.
If you are interested in contributing towards her recovery you can make a donation at your discretion, and please be sure that every donation no matter how large or small will greatly improve Margo’s quality of life and go a long way in helping with her anticipated recovery.

Thank you for all your love and support
We are all here for you, Margo, more people than you know. You are an amazing friend, sister, daughter, and all around person. I wish you all the best!

‘La Maza’ by Silvio Rodríguez, covered by Mercedes Sosa and Shakira.
This song has started me off on a long journey discovering latin american protest songs that I didn’t happen to grow up with but are nostalgic to my ears.

“Burma is a country about which little is known. To many, it conjures up images of the colonial era, dense jungles and an oppressed nation at the hands of a military dictatorship. All too often what is great about Burma (the stunning scenery, the rich culture, the kindness of its people) is overshadowed by what is bad. The potential here is unseen, undocumented and the future uncertain. On June 13th 2009, we followed Harmony, Etnies and Analog UK rider Ali Drummond to Burma for three weeks to document first hand what life is like there day to day and the public’s reaction to skateboarding around the cities.”Altered Focus.
