Will Climb for Jeremy Event
Columbus, OH.- On July 19, 2005 Jeremy Petrovitch, one of the Red's climbing community’s kindest and most gifted climbers, was on his way to work at the climbing gym when another car T-boned him. Jeremy was in a coma for three months and remains in a wheel chair recovering from T.B.I. (Traumatic Brain Injury). He has lost the use of the right side of his body and is in various types of therapy to help him regain a normal life. This bouldering competition has been created to help raise money for Jeremy’s additional therapy. This is a chance for the climbing community to reach out and help a fellow climber in need. So let’s all pitch in and do our part! It is going to be an amazing and fun-filled day of climbing and celebration.
