Brooke Thabit, a very active surfer and diver suffered serious spinal injury from a surface diving accident. She has been named an Ambassador for the Red Bull Wings For Life World Run, a very worthy cause. Too many people, athletes, kiters and surfers among them suffer from spinal cord injury and all the loss of mobility and changes to life that it can bring. On the order of 130,000 people per year have spinal cord injuries. This cause is devoted to finding a cure.
