As many of you may know, Brazilian-born polo pro Claudio Manfrin was severely injured in a motorcycle crash in Southern California over Memorial Day Weekend. Claudio suffered multiple broken bones as well as serious internal injuries and has been on life support for several days. At first, his prognosis was grim…..his doctors feared he would not survive his critical injuries. The wonderful news is that Claudio is strong and he is a survivor. He has been rallying each day in the hospital, much to the amazement and delight of his friends, family and the medical staff, and was taken off the respirator to breathe on his own. Although he faces many future surgeries and a long, painful rehabilitation, he is alive and recovering well. His indomitable spirit is helping him through the worst nightmare of his life.
