World Finals Race Director Still Lost at Sea

World Finals Race
Director Lost at Sea
Intense Search
& Rescue Efforts Underway for Jeremy Holland
November 5, 2008
An email from Evan Kilkus:
Some of you already know about the Search & Rescue effort approaching
the 2 week mark in Indonesia, but many do not. I would like to take
advantage of my e-mail list to update the Region 2 and 1 racing family,
and ask all of you to help support the search for Jeremy Holland.
For those of you hearing about this for the first time now, Jeremy was
in Bali to officiate the PWC events at the Asian Beach Games. On
Friday, October 25th, while on a "rec" ride, his ski broke down
and he was lost at sea. Go to www.IJSBA.com and www.PWCToday.com for the official and unofficial
reports and updates.
A quick update is that they have been searching extensively for the last
12 days with helicopters and boats, and there is still much reason to
believe he is waiting out there somewhere to be rescued. Even
Sir Richard Branson from Virgin Airlines has dedicated funds and a
helicopter or two.
For those of you that don't know Jeromy Holland, he has been the starting
line race director at the IJSBA World Finals the past 3 years, and is a
past British racer himself. After working with him 2 of those years
in Havasu, I can honestly say he always did everything he could for the
racers and for the sport.
What I am asking with this e-mail... picture yourself lost out there on
the beach in Indonesia. Or picture one of our Region 1 or 2 family
members out there. If we all donate $20-$100 a piece, that could
give Jeremy's wife, 2 daughters, brother, and the rest of the S&R
crew many more hours of helicopter and plane time to find him.
I know if i were out there I would be praying that people would give that
little bit to get me off that "Surviror-Bali" island.
SO... Click here to go directly to the PayPal Donation Site*.
It is really easy, and you don't have to have a paypal account, all you
need is you CC number. I just donated $50, and it was easy. *This
donation fund is approved/supported by the IJSBA and Shawn Alladio of K38
Rescue.
You can also Click Here to view the website set up by the family
where you can get additional information about donating and leave a note
for the famly if you would like.
Thank you all for sticking together through tough times, I hope everyone
is doing great, and I look forward to see you all out on the water sooner
than later.
-Evan Kilkus
