Dear Spearos, 

A while back, Florida diver, Rob Murphy was tragically struck by a boat while diving, resulting in the loss of both legs from the knee down.  Sadly, he continues to require additional medical treatment to relieve the immense pain and he is experiencing some serious financial hardships.
