On behalf of Stephan Kokinda, VP of the SFMC
> ------------------
> Dear Friends,
>
> Last May, at the Isle of Man TT race, our friend and brother James
> Cornell, member of the San Francisco Motorcycle Club (SFMC), Santa Cruz
> Vampires, and manager at Helimot European accessories in San Jose,
> California was badly injured in an accident during a practice lap.
>
> You may remember the SFMC. We were the guys and gals in blue unloading,
> loading and pushing bikes on and off the field at the Legend of the
> Motorcycle Concours.
>
> James and his driver Doug Dano were following the Isle of Man course when
> they came over May Hill at high speed to find another sidecar stalled
> directly in their path. They attempted to swerve around the stopped car so
> as not to hit the other racers, and they skidded into a brick wall. Both
> suffered severe injuries.
>
> Thankfully, Doug is now back with us and on the mend. James, however,
> suffered serious head injuries remains in a coma to this day. He is still
> at the Isle of Man hospital.
>
> We want to bring him home, to be close to his friends and family, where we
> can help care for him and work on bringing him out of his coma. He is now
> showing positive signs but it looks like we will have a long road to
> recovery. Nobles hospital has excellent trauma care, but they are not
> equipped to provide the kind of care James now needs. This is a critical
> time in his recovery. He needs to come home.
>
> Our immediate need is to raise $50,000 for a medically-assisted flight to
> bring our brother home to San Francisco General hospital. Any donations
> exceeding that amount will be used to pay bills and medical expenses as
> needed.
>
> These last six weeks have been an agony for all of us. James Cornell has
> been an icon of the motorcycle and scooter communities for many years, and
> to have him suffering so far from home is nearly unbearable. He has always
> been the type of guy you call at 3AM when your bike quits in Bakersfield,
> and he's there before dawn. He deserves our help now.
