Here’s a chance for the sailing community to pull together and provide some needed help. Kerry Sherwin, who many of us know as the ever helpful service manager at North Sails Seattle, needs that help.
According to the GoFundMe site set up for Kerry, as he was riding his Vespa scooter to work, he was victim of a hit and run. The result includes a broken arm, a broken leg, 5 broken ribs, several crushed vertebrae, and a broken collarbone. He was in the Harborview intensive care unit for 6 days.
Fortunately he has insurance, but as we all know that will hardly cover his needs, both immediate and in the coming months.
Visit Kerry’s GoFundMe site and give what you can.
