SOCCER BENEFIT FOR JEAN ALTOMARI

I am reaching out to my community - as my daughter, Jean Altomari, is a Pennsylvania State Trooper.  She grew up in Rockland, graduated from Nyack High School in 1997, and moved to Pennsylvania just a few years ago.  On November 18, 2009, she was on vacation on a Carnival cruise with an excursion in Cozumel, Mexico, and was involved in a horrific car crash - she is paralyzed from her chest down and she will be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Jean Marie was a standout Nyack Scholar Athlete and a member of the class of 1997.  Jean was injured while on vacation in Mexico in a car accident in November and is now paralyzed from the chest down and will be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

We are all trying to raise money to help Jean purchase special equipment that will help her in her rehabilitation.  Jean is a hardworking determined person who always brought out the best in her teammates and classmates.  She was standout goalie for Nyack High School and for the North Rockland Soccer Lazers, an elite travel soccer team in Rockland County in the 1990's.
