Hawaiianpix Photography is trying to spread the word about a Zumba fundraiser taking place on January 22, 2012 to raise money for the medical bills acquired by Hawaii photographer friend, Marcia Campbell. Marcia was seriously injured during a recent hit-and-run bicycle accident. It is a true tragedy that this had to happen to such a talented photographer. We hope that you read the story below from her personal blog, and become inspired to help out in any way possible. More information can be found at http://marciacampbell.com/blog/?p=1121.

On December 9, Marcia had a bicycle accident while biking to her dance
class in Kaimuki as usual. When she came to her senses she was lying
down on the sidewalk and her bike was leaning against the wall. Marcia
still does not remember what happened, but being the tough Marcia that
she is she called her good friend, who was on speed dial, to come and
get her. When Sofia arrived and saw the state in which Marcia was in she
called the ambulance right away. Marcia was taken to Queens Hospital
Emergency. She was found with multiple fractures, to face, head, back,
and hands and had to be hospitalized for an extent of time. After about 6
days she went through surgery to repair the facial fractures. Due to
the nature of the surgery she will be on a liquid diet for 6 weeks. At
the time of the accident Marcia was not covered by health insurance. You
can just imagine the impact on her physical and financial life.
Today Marcia is at home recovering from her injuries, even though, her
recovery has been outstanding, she will be unable to work for a couple
of months.
Since the accident happened many friends came together to help Marcia
while she was at the hospital. They gave their time and took shifts in
order to help taking care of her. They changed their daily routine in
order to ensure Marcia’s wellbeing! They are still helping in many ways.
It is a flow of friends who come every day to assist her and we are
very thankful to All of you: Angels!
Marcia, as most of you know, is an exceptional professional
photographer specialized in weddings and portraits. She has several
booked weddings, to photograph, but unfortunately some were cancelled.
