RYAN CARLSON HOSPITALIZED: Staph Infection Gets Serious

From the friends and family of Ryan Carlson


Ryan Carlson has been hospitalized with MRSA, a very serious form of staph infection. He got it in his left foot from a sea urchin he stepped on in Puerto Rico. He also got it in his right knee from a spider bite in Ca. He is currently getting better but his hospital and medication bills are ridiculously high.

Ryan has no medical insurance so he and his family are going to need some serious financial help to get through all of this. Any form of help or support is greatly appreciated. If you would like to send a donation through pay pal, the pay pal email address is help_carlson@hotmail.com. There will be 2 benefit parties in Huntington Beach. One will be Wednesday the 14th. The location should be confirmed by this weekend. The other will be at Gallaghers pub on Sunday the 18th. We're also working on a location in San Clemente.

sorry, all my money has gone to all the other pro surfers without insurance who've already held their hands out for help. Travis got my last dollar. In all seriousness, is there a single pro surfer (outside the top 44 guys who have to have it to be on tour) who is smart enough to buy health insurance?

Ryan and Christin have two beautiful daughters, a three year old and a seven month old. Needless to say any monies donated will help greatly.
