Today, the team heard news that former competitor Danny Byrnes, along with his wife Julia, were involved in a tragic car accident this past Friday. They are both in serious condition and have a very long recovery that lays ahead. If you have the ability, we ask you to help them through their GoFundMe.
Danny Byrnes is a former Eagles Flight Team Captain that competed in 2016-2020. Those that know him know that he is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. We ask that in this trying time for Danny and his wife, that you generously send them some financial support to help them through the struggles that they are facing. Please visit the GoFundMe link in our bio.
Thank you Eagles Family!
