Calling all pilots, race pilots, pwc pilots, world championship pilots who have raced or plan on racing in Valle De Bravo. We need a bit love for the Gutierrez family. A family and team who have always been there for us through thick and thin. Please share this as much as possible, lets get these lifelong friends back in the air, and lend a deserving hand.

Patricio Gutierrez, 28, was severely injured during the Monarca Paragliding Event this year and Miguel and Claudia could use a little help getting their son back in the air. They have great insurance but the costs are already over 15,000 dollars out of pocket. He broke his pelvis, sacrum, and injured his bladder.

The event continued and many of you probably didn't know that the organizer's son was life-flighted to Mexico City.

Josh Cohn and I are setting this up mainly to hit up all the past participants of their events to chip in and help this family out. Every time we have had the races and times of our lives, with this family hosting us and truly treating us like their own, we owe that to them and more. For 16 years they have hosted 150 pilots a year from all over the world and made sure each and every one of them had a fantastic event including the Paragliding World Cup Superfinal in 2011 and 2015, the Paragliding Worlds in 2009, and the Hang Gliding Worlds in 2015.

They have always been there for us, let us show the love in their time of need and help the best comp team in the world get back in the air!

The funds will be used only for Patricio's medical needs, fees, and expenses. Anything left over will be donated to a local charity in Valle De Bravo.
