Martin Horn

Martin Needs Your Help

On August 31st the Horns’ family life changed forever. That day, Martin (Marty) Horn was taking a surfing lesson in waist deep water, went into a wave and fell off the board hitting a sandbar. The impact immediately fractured his C3 thru T3 vertebrae. On September 5th, he had surgery to stabilize his neck, but unfortunately his paralysis appears to be permanent. He is paralyzed from his chest down, and can now breathe on his own after defying all odds. Marty is at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta Georgia.

Marty has 3 children: Samantha (age 22) Senior at NCSU, Pearce (age 20) Sophomore at ECU, and Zoey (age 13) is an 8th Grader in Middle School. At present, Sam is acting as her father’s, primary caregiver/guardian, making all of the decision for him. She was in her last semester at NCSU, but has now deferred to care of her father. We are so very proud of her. After a life spent of enjoying the outdoors, triathlons, and a career as an attorney, Marty now faces a future with many obstacles and long road to recovery. As you can image the medical and rehabilitation bills alone will be astronomical. Research has shown that the estimated first year for a SCI is around $800,000 to well over $1,000,000. As many of you know Marty is a giving and prideful man. I cannot ever remember a time hearing him ask for help. I know of multiple families and clients he has financially helped out, and I am sure there are even more that I do not know about. It is time for us to help Marty in his time of need.

Marty and his family have faith and know miracles can happen. Marty is strong and a fighter. Everyone has been amazingly supportive to the Horn Family since this tragic accident. Please continue to have Marty and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
