On the morning of March 17 tragedy struck when former Dr. Phillips High School coach Linnie Yarbrough Jr. and his brother John were in a fatal car accident. Sadly John passed away and Linnie is currently hanging on in the ICU.
Although things are still extremely critical for Linnie, who has been a much loved coach in the Orlando area and throughout the state, he has recently made some progress. His father reports that on March 19 he was finally able to open his eyes and has some consciousness now of the presence and touch of his family. We pray for his continued progress and recovery and for the family dealing with the loss of John while being with Linnie.
The family is in dire need of your financial assistance in covering the cost associated with the death and medical bills. While of course you can give more, the suggested donation is just $10 and if we can come together as a running community we can surely help them bear some of that burden.
