‼️ On Friday 6th Jan, Rebecca Conlon fell and broke her neck at a trampoline park in Harare when she fell through an open net onto a concrete floor. She had emergency surgery for over 7,5 hours on Friday night and is now in ICU.
Becky is an amazing young lady, just 16yrs old, with such huge potential and a big heart. She was adopted by her parents at just 6 weeks old only 1.8kgs but beat all odds and is incredibly talented. At the age of 7 she made the Zimbabwe gymnastics team at 9 became National Champion and won gold in KZN and at 10 was scouted to join the SA gymnastics team under their Olympic coach. At 11 became the top gymnast in Africa for her age and was then selected to train in Europe in preparation for the Olympics. She later returned home not wanting to leave her family and chose to stay in Zimbabwe.
We now pray and believe that Becky will walk again but she has a long road ahead of her.
The hospital bills have been over $17k with more to come and her USD Cimas claims have been exhausted and the long road of rehabilitation now starts.

We are appealing to each of you, if you find it in your hearts to give it would be so appreciated. Even the smallest amounts add up and help so much.
