Cassy Rowe
Dear Fair Game Readers,
I wanted to pass along this email that was sent to me about Cassy Rowe. She plays for the Sierra Xtreme U19 Girls and suffered a broken neck during a tournament last weekend. A that has been set up with updates on her condition. It would be great if you could take the time and leave Cassy a message of encouragement on her website.

Fellow Coaches,
Last weekend one of my players, Cassy Rowe, broke her neck during a tournament. Since last Saturday at around 5pm, her life has been turned upside down. She has endured hours of surgery and it will be months before a definitive long term prognosis will be feasible. She currently only has use of her arms, but we are all praying that with hard work and some luck she will fully recover. She will be transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation facility once she recovers from surgery.
Much of the recovery Cassy will experience is up to how much rehabilitation she is able to endure. Keeping her spirits high is hugely important. Her family has set up a website where friends, family and well wishes can sign her guest book. In the long hours between rehab sessions she reads these messages and we know how much it means to her.
She has months of rehab ahead.
I would like to ask you to contact your team and pass along Cassy's story and ask them to visit her site and give her some encouragement.
We are not just coaches, we're Dads too. A terrible accident like this hits way to close to home.
Please do what you can to cheer up Cassy, she is a very special person.
Thank you
Dick Gordon
Sierra Xtreme
