On Saturday, August 16, 2008, Stephanie Nielson was in a plane crash with her husband, Christian Nielson, and his flight instructor, Doug Kinneard, near St. Johns, Arizona. Doug Kinneard passed away soon after arriving at the Maricopa County Hospital.
Christian has been released just this month from the hospital. Stephanie remains in critical condition at Maricopa Burn Center. Christian has sustained burns on over 30% of his body. His wife Stephanie’s body was burned over 80%.
Christian and I spent a summer together in Mozambique. His sister, Heidi, married Josh, who I consider a brother. Heidi asked me to post information about a 5k run being sponsored by the Marriott family to help raise money to pay for medical expenses.
