Blair Morgan has arrived closer to home after suffering a severe back injury during practice for the Motocross Valvoline of Montreal on Sat., Sept. 20, at Olympic Stadium. Blair and his wife Terri Morgan arrived in Saskatoon, Sask., before 1 p.m. on October 3, and were transported to the hospital where Blair is staying in isolation. Doctors are evaluating him and he will soon be moved to a rehabilitation center. He is looking forward to starting his work with the physiotherapists now that he is feeling better and no longer taking pain medication.

Blair has requested at this time that visitation be solely granted to immediate family members. This will give him time to adjust to his new surroundings and get settled into his rehabilitation schedule.

Ashlee Painchaud and Chad Harris of HCP designs have started a tribute program to Blair Morgan named "Operation Inspiration." Pro helmet painter, Chad Harris, will paint helmets for each pro racer competing at the first national snocross race in Duluth, Minn. The helmets will have a theme dedicated to Blair Morgan, and the back will feature a large orange 7C in his honor. After Duluth, racers will sign one or more of the helmets to be auctioned off on a specialized Web site. All proceeds will go to Blair and his family.

In addition to the helmets, T-shirts of similar design and theme will be available to purchase at the Duluth snocross and on the Web. More info: www.sellyourevents.com/eventpage.aspx?name=OPERATIONINSPIRATION7c or e-mail blairmorgantrust@bmrt.com
