Former U.S. Soccer star Michelle Akers is in a struggle to keep her horse rescue mission going after a major flood at her ranch in Georgia. When we caught up with her, she was receiving some much needed help from Mike Lyons and his family. Lyons is a coach for Sky Blue FC of Women’s Professional Soccer. He and his wife along with 3 children drove from New Jersey down to Georgia to assist Akers for a couple of days in December 2009.

The Michelle Akers Horse Rescue still has a mountain to climb in raising the funds necessary to clean up the mess caused by the major floods in Georgia during the fall of ’09.
