While exploring Gregory Canyon with his friends on October 16th, our friend Zach fell over 60ft from a rock formation and suffered severe injuries. After a multi-hour operation, the Boulder County Search & Rescue was able to get Zach off the mountain and transported to the nearest hospital. When Zach arrived, he received two life-saving surgeries addressing the severe head trauma he had suffered. Although he is currently stable, Zach is still in a fight for his life as he battles the swelling of his brain and a multitude of other severe injuries to his body.
Zach is a sophomore at the University of Colorado, Boulder studying communications. Zach loves to produce and edit videos for hobby and dreams of turning it into a career one day. Zach has always been an adventurous kid. He is an avid skateboarder, snowboarder, hiker and climber; he's the type of guy who casually back flips while walking down the street. Zach is a staple in his group of friends and community, always there to help those in need. Zach truly is one of the most honest, outgoing, compassionate, and fun loving people anyone could be lucky enough to meet in their lifetime.
Zach still has a long fight ahead of him, but with his mother, father, and teenage sister in mind, we hope to ease the financial burden of this accident so they may focus on Zach's recovery. Anything will help his family during this time of need, and also help Zach win this fight. The funds from this page will go directly to Zach and his family via his father, Edward Ramirez, who we have made the beneficiary of this page. Thank you and please spread the word.
