Ben Wolverton, age 16, was in a tragic longboarding accident on April 3, 2013. He suffers from severe brain trauma, a cracked skull, broken pelvis and tail bone, burnt knees, bruised lungs, broken ear drums, road rash, and pneumonia. He was in a coma, but has recently awakened. His family has no insurance.
Ben's treatments are already over $1,000,000. He will need extensive therapy as he relearns how to walk. He is the son of author David Farland, and they need our help. So a bunch of us writers are promoting a donation bomb on June 7th to contribute. You can donate via the button below or go to www.HelpWolverton.com for other ideas to help. The idea is to bring a surge of support for their family and hope for Ben's recovery.
And if you help spread the word (via FB, twitter, blog, etc.) you have a chance to win one of David Farland's books. Let's share the love and help Ben out! Join us June 7th with your donation!!!

I tweeted. It's great that David's getting all this support for his son. I bought a copy of Nightingale in April to help out.
Purchased the book and will help with the Twitter party next week.
