Kyle Thrush, a former Faith Lutheran School student, is a Mount Plymouth youth who suffered serious head injuries in a dirt bike accident in April. He was given a 4% chance to live. Through his own determination, the power of prayer and skilled specialists he has beaten those odds. Kyle is currently in a rehabilitation center in Jacksonville, FL. He is on track to return home before the end of summer.
Friends of the Thrush family have coordinated several benefits to help offset the family's medical expenses and other related expenses.
This weekend Florida Hospital Waterman is sponsoring a charity basketball game for Kyle. Faith Lutheran School (coached by Michael Repass) and WESH-TV 2 (coached by Greg Fox) will team up on Saturday, June 7, 2008 at Faith Lutheran Christian Life Center, 2715 South Grove Street, Eustis, FL.
The basketball warm up begins at 6:30 PM and game time is 7:00. Tickets are available at the door and seating is limited.
A silent auction including sports memorabilia and a bake sale will begin at 5:30 PM.
All contributions are appreciated and will be directed to the Thrush family to help with the financial burden.
Direct donations may be made at any of the five branches of The First National Bank of Mount Dora or mailed to: FNB, P.O.Box 995, Sorrento, FL 32776. Please note "Kyle Fund" on the check's memo line.
