Former Tennessee swimmer Sinclair Larson is currently in the hospital after being hit by a car Sunday night while walking her dog near the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill campus, according to her family’s GoFundMe page.
“Sinclair is currently at UNC medical center in trauma,” her GoFundMe page says. “When the staff walked me back, I didn’t even recognize her. She has fractures in her head and face, stitches across her forehead, broken ribs, and the list goes on. Despite her own pain and confusion last night, all she could do was worry about (her dog) Jasper.
“As of this morning, Sinclair is awake and was able to briefly sit up. She has a long road to go, but I know she can do it. We will hold her while she heals and we ask that you hold her, and Jasper too, in your thoughts and prayers
“We know this: they will need each other.
“We are attempting to cover the vet bills, hotel costs for Jim and I to stay near Sinclair, and the ensuing medical bills that we will be asked to pay for Sinclair. We understand this year has been tough on everyone, so if you are unable to help with the bills, please consider sharing this so God can get it in the hands of someone who may be able to help.”
Thank you,
The Larson Family
