Shortly after Matty Brenner moved to Denver from Los Angeles, something unfortunate happened: At a motorcycle race, one of the racers lost control of his cycle coming out of a turn. The bike hit an embankment and flew into the crowd, pinning Brenner, breaking his hip and fracturing his femur.
After several weeks of recovery, months of physical therapy and another surgery to have his hip bone grafted, Brenner lost his disability payments when his employer replaced him. And because he recently moved to Denver, he doesn’t qualify for state funding.
But you can help by attending tonight’s Hollywood Nights Benefit and Fashion Show, featuring motorcycle, skate and snowboard gear as well as T-shirts and hoodies. Sponsored by Sickgirlz, the event goes down at the Purple Martini at 8000 East Belleview Avenue in Greenwood Village. Admission is free, but a $10 donation is requested at the door. All proceeds benefit Brenner. Visit www.myspace.com/sickgirlz_co or call the Purple Martini at 1-877-4VODKA1 for information.
