Jan 19, 2012
A year ago in January I sat next to Danny for 33 days in the hospital hoping that he would get better. This January, we celebrated his return to snow and today we released his movie, “Moving Forward.” For the past couple of weeks we’ve been sitting behind the computer editing his movie and I couldn’t help, but to be brought back to the hospital sitting by Danny’s side every day as we worked on the video. When I heard about Sarah’s injury, my heart nearly broke through my chest as it swelled with emotion. Reliving those long days and endless nights in the hospital, as I thought about her every day, reminded me of the fragility of life.
When I posted Danny’s video to my facebook wall this morning, I wanted it to bring hope to everyone who was thinking about Sarah. Danny certainly gave me hope, but I knew deep down that not everyone recovers as well as Danny has.
Sarah was a true pioneer for this sport that I am so incredibly passionate about. I owe a lot to her as she helped pave the way for so many more and me. Who knows if I would have had all of these amazing opportunities if it weren’t for Sarah. She was driven, enthusiastic, strong willed, a hard worker, and my hero.
In memory of Sarah and as a small thanks to how she has inspired me I came up with an idea to sell stickers to help raise money for her fund. Sticker Pack has generously donated thousands of stickers. Kaya Turski created the sticker design. ALL of the proceeds made from these stickers will go to Sarah’s outstanding medical costs and related expenses through her husband, Rory Bushfield.
With the momentum that we have gained from the release of Danny’s movie and the similarities of Sarah’s injury to Danny’s, Shreddy Times has been kind enough to set up an online store. Each sticker cost $5.00. The price of the envelope and stamp comes to 47 cents. Each sticker bought will donate $4.53 to Sarah’s fund.
Thank you very much for your generous donation. My thoughts are continuously with Rory and Sarah’s family.

Michelle,
What a wonderful way to honor Sarah. She (and you) have been such huge inspirations to me, as a female park skier and skier in general. Sarah lived her life in a way that I aspire to everyday. My thoughts and prayers are with Rory and her family. Thank you for giving us a way to remember and give back to someone who gave so much. I’m ordering my stickers right now.

I’ve never met Sarah, Rory, Danny or you but being that we all have the same thing in common, for the love of snow, it makes me feel in times like these we all need to band together. I love the thought of helping out Sarah’s family and I think this is a great idea to provide that help. We were so excited when “Moving Forward” came out and love the good vibes it put out. Thanks for your positivity.

Believe in what? She passed. Remember? Duh
of course we will. She was amazing. Just “Sarah” would be better
Also think the believe in Sarah looks like believe in Satan a little too much jus sayin

You obviously don’t know Sarah based on your ridiculous comments/questions. Perhaps you should learn more about Sarah as a person other than what you read in her stat lines.

put me down for one sticker at a price of $100.00.
Color: to stand out on my top carrier!
Thanks, except I really wish this didn’t exist. I totally hate all of these accidents.
Love to All,

What a wonderful tribute. Thanks, too, to you and everyone else involved in the video of Danny’s incredibly inspiring story. In a dark time this film was a real shining light – such courage and hope.
[Reply]
Hey guys can you mail these to the UK?
[Reply]
Hey! Gotta a bunch of the stickers! I wanna help more! What about some t-shirts?
[Reply]
Such a lovely tribute. I never had the opportunity to meet Sarah, but have watched her compete in numerous events over the years, and to lose such an inspirational person, such a pioneer of women’s freeskiing is a terrible thing. Thankfully the community of skiers will be such that we never endure hard times like these alone. All my love to Rory and the family. To quote from another sport “You’ll never walk alone”

Are you getting more colors back in stock?
[Reply]
Shreddy Times Reply:
January 27th, 2012 at 9:38 pm
The colors that we have now are the colors that we will be running for the duration.
[Reply]
To “Prob Shouldn’t Say”: Although “Believe in Sarah” started when Sarah was still in the hospital, it doesn’t mean that it is no longer relevant. Sarah embodied passion, commitment, dedication, beauty, and so much more than words can describe. So by continuing to “Believe in Sarah” we are continuing to believe in all that her life stood for and the legacy that she has left.

You should do on that says “Ski for Sarah”

That’s an awesome idea but unfortunately we already have our hands full trying to keep up with these two designs!

Thanks for organizing this Michelle, I’ll be proud to wear these on my helmet.
[Reply]
Are the other colors coming back or is this the last batch of stickers?

Shreddy Times Reply:

This is it. These stickers are the last ones that we are going to have.

Any chance you could do one that says “Shred for Sarah”? Might be rad.

Awesome idea but at the moment we are already so overwhelmed with the stickers that we are running. We are just going to stick with these two designs.

Do the “Believe in Sarah” stickers come with the “forever”?

No, we aren’t sure what the “forever” stickers are? Is that another memorial sticker that someone is running?

I just noticed on the xgames that Kaya Turski and some of the others with the believe stickers had a little forever at the bottom so that it reads “believe in Sarah forever” … just wondering if that came with, but it must have just been something they added.

Kaya was the one that originally designed the stickers and she was cutting the letters out of vinyl. She probably just cut the stickers out of vinyl and added them to the phrase. Those didn’t come from us.
Just ordered 4 to come to the UK. Really neat idea. RIP.

Hello, if I ordered yesterday and I live in vancouver, how long will it take for the sticker to get here? xo

I have been looking everywhere for these stickers. I followed Sarah’s condition and then i saw the stickers on the Xgames and i have to get some.

are these safe to put on vehicles

Better to put them on Glass than on the pain directly. What exactly are you worried about as far as “safe” though?

Whether to put it on glass or the paint is all
[Reply]
Shreddy Times Reply:

Better to put it on the glass. You wouldn’t notice it until you took the sticker off, but if you took it off after 5 years your paint would fade just enough the the part of the paint that was blocked by the vinyl would be a shade or two darker than the rest and therefore the saying would more or less be permanently in your paint. This is really the case with all sticker types.
I ordered a sticker on the 20th just curious how much longer it would take to arrive in NY.
