Support Vesna Andric after Surfboat Tragedy

On Wednesday 4 January 2023, Vesna Andric was rowing for Tathra Surf Lifesaving Club in the iconic George Bass Surfboat Marathon.

Vesna & her Tathra ladies crew were involved in a tragic accident just off Bermagui beach. As a result of the accident Vesna has sustained horrific injuries including a smashed pelvis, fractured ribs & internal bleeding. Vesna’s spine has been reattached to her pelvis in surgery. As of January 13th 2023 Vesna has been transferred out of ICU onto the orthopaedic ward. However there is months of rehab ahead & more surgery but her condition is “stable”. She is somewhat able respond to doctors now & has the bedside support of her daughter Sinead & beautiful friends Claudia & Carly. Close friends have established a Fundraiser for Vesna, calling on Surf Life Saving clubs, Bega Valley shire residents & the wider community to help their gorgeous friend through her long recovery road ahead. All funds to go directly to Vesna to aid in her long recovery & living expenses.

This fundraiser is being endorsed & supported by both Tathra Surf Life Saving Club & the George Bass organising committee. Ves has been told of the fundraising & is completely overwhelmed at the amazing generosity & support being shown Friend, Kate, says "Vesna is the most giving, generous & loyal friend, team member & employee & much loved member of United Fitness gym in Bega. Vesna recently commenced a new job with the South East Women’s & Children’s services in Bega where she directly helps victims of Domestic Violence. "Vesna herself would never ask for help but we are doing it for her".
