Wellington, Florida, March 10, 2010 – The outpouring of love and support continue to gain momentum as the equestrian world reaches out with their prayers, cards, messages and healing thoughts to Dressage Olympian Courtney King Dye who remains in a coma as a result of a riding accident March 3 at Saint Mary’s Hospital in North Palm Beach.
Wednesday night, March 10 at the Player’s Club Restaurant, 13410 South Shore Blvd, Wellington, Florida at 7PM, the popular Dressage under the Stars Series will have the last Freestyle event before the Finale next week. It will be a massive effort to bring together the large equestrian community of Wellington in support of the emergency funding needed for Courtney.
Carol Cohen of Two Swans Farm and Jim Welsh of Elite Horse Transport have started off fundraising efforts with $3500 combined, and Cohen will match the $500 check given to the winner of the evening’s event. Cohen has green ribbons, the symbol for brain injury, to raise contributions. Morgan Heinrichs, Courtney’s working student, will be riding a freestyle in her honor. “We are trying to get as many people to come to the event as possible,” said Carol, who has been involved with the series since its inception.
For those who cannot attend the event but want to send their support, cards and donations can be sent to: Courtney Dye, 2442 Muir Circle, Wellington, FL 33414, and messages to comebackcourt@gmail.com will be read to Courtney. You can send good wishes and stories for Courtney on Facebook and Lendon Gray will make sure they get read to her as well.
