Please donate to help our dad walk again

Those closest to us will know that the last five months have been really traumatic. Despite a brain seizure, losing most of his mobility and numerous A&E visits, our dad was left with an undetected, untreated and life-threatening spinal infection. Having already spent five months (since Christmas Eve!) in numerous hospitals, an eight-hour emergency operation and a period in intensive care, he has been diagnosed with a severe spinal injury and continues to be treated in hospital. The road to recovery is still a long way off, with our dad currently being unable to walk.

 

Research (& the ward doctors) tells us that the first 12 months following a spinal injury are predictive of a person's full recovery. We therefore want to give our dad the best chance to walk again and the best quality of life whilst living with a spinal injury. To do this we hope to raise money for specialised equipment and facilities to adapt the home. 

 

My brothers and I will therefore be walking the Yorkshire 3 peaks on Sunday 12th June to raise money. Every single penny will be beyond appreciated and we already can't thank people enough for their support and well wishes.

 

We thank each and every single one of you in advance.
