Friends of show dad, Larry D’Amico, have set up a GoFundMe fundraising account following an accident that took place during the Quarter Horse Congress. Funds will go towards travel, bills, and medial expenses associated with Larry.
On Friday, October 1st, Larry fell backwards getting off a golf cart and hit his head. His family soon found out that “just hitting his head” would leave Larry fighting for his life with severe bleeding and bruising of his brain. As of now, Larry is in a step down unit and is on the mend. He’s considered stable, is able to move every part of his body, and is beginning rehab. Although he has improved drastically, he still has a long road of recovery and rehab ahead.
If you’ve had the honor to know him personally, you know Larry is a top-tier show dad and the life of the show. He takes care of teammates like they’re his family and is a great shoulder to turn to. He’s funded his daughter, Taylor D’Amico, and her endeavors, even when he probably shouldn’t have, according to Taylor. He was just as much invested into this as she was. Even though he never really rode or ever competed, he loved the environment, people, and horses. His absence from their last adventure at the Congress has been prevalent, but still we rally and do it for Larry.
Please join Rally For Larry to see updates as we receive them. If you’re interested in donating, please visit the GoFundMe page.
Anything and everything is appreciated. As always, let’s Rally For Larry and use the hashtag #rideforlarry #rallyforlarry
