Phil Bramich fundraiser
Donation protected
Update 15 April 2019
Phil's cycling family from Northern Cycling came together on Sunday 14 April for graded scratch races to raise funds to help Phil and his family as he continues down the long road to recovery.
Phil is in great spirits and is very appreciative of all the support he has received over the past few months. All the signs are that his neck injury is healing well and he is looking forward to the halo brace coming off this week. We raised $2,162 on Sunday from race entries, a raffle and some auctions.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Former Club Champ Phil Bramich came off his bike in a serious accident while out on a social ride with friends last Thursday 27 December.
Phil hit a small metal bolt on the road which sent him over the handlebars. He was airlifted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with injuries including a broken neck at C2, head lacerations and small hand fractures.
Phil underwent surgery for the neck injury and he is recovering well with a halo-type head brace that he will have to wear for the next three months. His ongoing recovery and rehabilitation is expected to take many more months.
Phil will be off the bike and not able to work for some time and to help him and his family out at this time, the Club has set up a Go Fund Me page to raise some funds to help them through this difficult time. Northern Cycling has kicked it off with a $500 donation.
Phil has been a terrific member and supporter of Northern for many years – you literally could not meet a nicer bloke - and the love and thoughts of all Club members, supporters and friends go out to him, his wife Cara and their family at this time.
If you are able to make a contribution to the fundraising effort, that would be gratefully appreciated. If not, that’s OK too – you might be able to help out in some other way.
