A fellow member of Snowboardingforum.com recently broke her neck at Waterville Valley in New Hampshire a few days before she was supposed to leave for an epic season in Japan. Being injured and not able to travel, snowboard, or even drive, Kara Castaldo is sure to have a lot of time on her hands.


Rephreshed and Shred Betties are looking to help cure her boredom and maybe even help her to pay some medical bills by accepting donations of yarn, crochet hooks, beanie patterns books, etc. to send to her. Kara has only recently learned how to crochet and has already made some pretty awesome beanies!

If you want to help Kara Castaldo out or even just want to read her story, head over to Shredbetties.com. Also, if you are interested in buying on of her beanies, shoot an email to rephreshed@yahoo.com for info!
