Many of you may have heard that at the World MTBO Championships in Portugal this year, Czech rider Hana Dolezalova sustained broken dorsal vertebrae (D5 e D6) after a very bad fall. After several weeks she was transferred by air ambulance back to the best spinal rehab unit in The Czech Republic.
At the recent World Cup race in Italy she sent this short inspirational video to her fellow competitors which we were shown at the opening ceremony. There has been a fund set up to help Hana, see below.

Details of fund (translation from Czech):

Our friend Hana Dolezalova suffered a serious injury during the long distance qualification race at the recent World Championships in MTBO in Portugal. It took her the most valuable, her health. Hanka remains immobile from her chest downwards. Let’s try to help Hanka and her family to ease the difficult fight they face. We have opened a public collection with cooperation with the Czech Foundation for Orienteering. Donations that will be gathered will be used solely by Hanka and her family to help Hanka in therapy. We all believe that also in return to full and genuine life.

Donations can be transferred to bank acount IBAN: CZ7255000000001500043001 with variable symbol/note: 111222333.
