Support Rocky's Road to Recovery
Donation protected
On the morning of 8/3 Rocky was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in him being airlifted to a trauma focused hospital. Rocky endured multiple injuries including a broken left hand, broken left hip, three separate breaks in his pelvis and lacerations from head to toe. 3 surgeries have been performed so far including a full left hip replacement and plates in his pelvis to stabilize him. Rocky has a long road to recovery and will spend the next few months in a rehabilitation center as he learns to walk again. There is still a long road to recovery, doctors are anticipating at least 6 months before Rocky can fully return to work. As many of you know Rocky has spent so much of his career using his gift of laughter to help out in any way he can, he has donated countless hours to charity and benefits in the last 30+ years in the industry, he’s the first person to offer help when anyone is in need. We have seen the outpouring of love for Rocky in the recent years as he’s bravely shared his journey of having to slow down his tours to care for his daughter Toni that has been battling cancer for the last 2 1/2 years. There isn’t anything Rocky wouldn’t do for his children and family and the mental strain of not being able to provide for his family at such a trying time is an added element to this terrible accident that Rocky shouldn’t have to worry about. Now it’s time for his family to do their best to provide for him. Rocky will need to maintain his personal and medical bills over the next months while he is out of work so we can keep him strong and get him back to what he loves most, making people laugh.
