Molly Mack, the captain of the Whippany High School girls team, was identified by the team's booster club as the person seriously injured in the Sunday, Oct. 27 crash between two SUVs on Route 24 in Florham Park, as previously reported by Daily Voice.
A week later, more than $122,000 had been raised for her recovery on a GoFundMe launched by her aunt and uncle, Tom Hamill and Jennifer Gullace, who say Mack was a passenger in one of the vehicles.
"Molly is a bright, spirited young woman with a passion for soccer, a true leader on and off the field. She was looking forward to finishing her senior year as Captain of the Whippany Park Girls Soccer Team and moving onto the next chapter in her life, continuing her playing career next Fall at High Point University in North Carolina.
"Her resilience has been inspiring, and through this difficult time, her strength has amazed us all.
"The accident left Molly with multiple fractures in her neck, swelling of the spine, broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a broken arm. She survived and endured a spinal fusion surgery earlier this week to relieve pressure on her spine and stabilize her neck. While we are grateful she is still with us, the road to recovery is a long one with countless therapy sessions, medical appointments, and possibly more surgeries along the way."
