Amber Pearson a smiley strawberry blond, was on her way to her trainer's ranch that sunny August day in 1997. The Wisconsin High School Rodeo Association fall schedual would be starting soon and she rode every day to ready herself for competition.

It would only take a few seconds for her to lose control on the freshly tarred road-way. The car rolled, Amber was thrown from her vehicle she lay lifeless on the highway. From homes nearby, help would arrive. Irronically, an EMT visiting a friend would play the role of Amber's gaurdian angel and give her life back by preforming CPR. Local emergency personnel arrived and got Amber to the local hospital an hour from her home. The prognosis wasn't good. Severe Head Injury. Amber was in a coma. Every hour of the day she fought to come back to her family. Days turned into weeks. Finally after seven weeks she started to slowly show signs of coming out of the coma. Transfered to the Mayo Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota, Amber would spend the next three months dealing with all of the physical and emotional problems the accident caused. Such a hardship for a 16-year-old girl, the pain, the fear and the demanding therapy every day. But she was never alone.

Thanx,
AmberRose
