An Update from Chad Ganaway
15 Dec 2009 02:06 PM
Hey all,
As most of you know Chelsea and I were in a horrible car accident coming home from thanksgiving. We spent 2 weeks in Odessa, in which Chelsea was in ICU for 4 days and then in the hospital the rest of the time with a severe brain injury. My left forearm was shattered and i underwent two surgeries. I have plates and screws and 2 pins in my wrist. My physical injuries are NOTHING compared to the emotional pain I am in for Chelsea. Jesus is starting to work on that for me, but it is still not easy not knowing what the future holds for your life and your loved one.
Chelsea has made progress and we are now back in Victoria for the first time since Thanksgiving. Chelsea is at a neuro rehab center called Warm Springs in Victoria. I am back at my house for the first time without Chelsea. This is EXCRUCIATING! I miss her more than any word in any language can describe. She has taken care of me for 8 years and the thought of not having her here when I come home from the gym at night is very difficult for me right now.
We have a LONG tough road ahead of us. I ask that you will all pray and spread the word to anyone that you know that will pray for complete restoration to Chelseas mind and body. She is a wonderful girl and has never hurt a soul. I assure you she is one of the last people on earth that deserves something like this.
God has and is working miracles for us already. We really should not be alive. The pictures and how the accident happened are proof of that. HE SAVED US FOR A REASON. Now we just have to get Chelsea better so we can allow him to lead us into that reason.
If I can give any advice at all from this so far, DO NOT NEGLECT OR TAKE YOUR LOVED ONES FOR GRANTED FOR ONE SECOND. YOUR LIFE CAN LITERALLY CHANGE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE!!
If anyone wants to know how they can help there has been a couple of different funds set up for us. One is at any Wells Fargo. You will have to tell the tellers that the fund was opened in New Mexico under BIlly Ganaway, the fund is called the Chad and Chelsea fund. Some have had trouble with this one as not all tellers are the smartest people on the planet, but the fund does exsist.
Another fund has been set up by West Texas TNT, contact Patti for info on that one, I'm not real sure about it.
We DO NOT expect anything from anybody, but all help is GREATLY appreciated as I won't be able to do any tumbling privates for quite sometime and who knows when Chelsea will work again. And we won't even discuss medical bills :)!
Thank you all for your concern and prayers, please keep them coming, I MISS MY BABY DEARLY,
IN CHRIST,
CHAD M. GANAWAY

Twitter @ Region 3 Championships: Recieve flight updates via text message on your cell phone
27 Mar 2009 10:33 AM
We are excited
to announce that we will be trying a new service this
year at our annual Championship event. Twitter is a
microblogging communication service that allows us to
communicate with you via text message on your cell
phone. We hope this will be a great service for judges,
parents and coaches and will make the Region 3
Championship experience even better. When you sign up
for a free twitter account, you can choose to "follow"
Region3 (our Twitter name) which means that you will
receive, via text message, any updates we post to the
Region 3 account if you choose to register your cell
phone number with twitter to receive our "tweets".
Throughout the meet, we will be posting when each
competition flight and awards ceremony is starting and
you can recieve those posts via text message so that
wherever you are you will know if the competition is
ahead of schedule (Surely this will be the case) or
behind and when each flight is entering the competition
floor.
For more information and to learn how to set up your account, see the Twitter page by clicking on the "R3 Tech" tab on the right.
However, PLEASE NOTE:
1. Because this service is relies on delivering text message, we suggest that you be on an unlimited text message plan with your cell carrier. There will be a number of messages sent out and you do not want to be charged for each one of them. Region 3 is not responsible for any charges incurred for using this service.
2. Because this is the first time we will be trying this service, we suggest that you not rely exclusively on its accuacy. Most "tweets" or messages get delivered within a matter of seconds, be we cannot guarantee that the Twitter service will be running and delivering messages in a timely manner throughout the weekend.
