Billy's Recovery
Donation protected
My name is Billy Marrone. I live in Los Angeles, Ca. I am a preschool teacher, GoPro Addict, and love adventure.
On 31 May 2015 I attempted my first triathlon at the EXTERRA Triathlon 2015 in Laguna Beach, Ca. Towards the end of the bike portion of the race, I hit a soft patch of sand that send me flying over 25 feet. I landed face first on a rock and was airlifted to the Trauma Center at Mission Hospital. I suffered a Sprained Wrist, Broken Tail Bone, and a Traumatic Brain Injury. I am now on cognitive rest for 3 weeks and cannot drive, work, exercise, or be alone for more than an hour until I recover.
The reason for my GoFundMe page is to pay for medical bills, transportation, recovery process, and my entry to the 2016 EXTERRA Triathlon so that I can return to the scene of my accident, and prove to my self that I Am A Triathlete. Any Extra Funds will go towards future medical cost, (I.E. Physical Therapy), gear to get me back to the race next year, and doing something special for my girlfriend, Mariana, who has been my love and support 24/7 through my entire recovery.
