Felix's Fight: Rallying for Recovery
Donation protected
Cause:
Welcome to our heartfelt initiative. As Felix’s closest friends, we've banded together to support him during a challenging health crisis, whilst he embarks on a journey to The Netherlands to explore a promising treatment option for his medical condition.
About:
A Geelong local, Felix is known for his vibrant, and cheeky personality and positive impact as a teacher and film producer. Right now, he's battling a worsening health crisis with a challenging prognosis that hampers his ability to live independently.
The Battle:
Felix's struggle with health issues began in 2014 following a motorcycle accident. This incident, coupled with past traumas, plunged him into an ongoing battle. Felix grapples with chronic migraines, pain, and seizure-like episodes, each day presenting a new challenge to overcome.
His condition has been a relentless companion, recently taking a turn for the worse in January and resulting in a life-altering episode where we almost lost him. We're profoundly grateful to Maddy and the paramedics who swiftly rescued him. Since then, he's now faced with a challenging prognosis.
Your Role:
Enter Felix's steadfast companions, a group of friends as loyal as Odysseus' crew, rallying around him in his time of need. We recognise Felix's reluctance to seek help, a trait as noble as stubborn, much like the Greek hero himself. Your contribution could bring a monumental change in his life.
Beacon of Hope:
Felix will be treated at an innovative clinic in The Netherlands, renowned for its expertise in Psychedelic-assisted, Cognitive Therapy. It involves 2 weeks of specialised care. His Aussie healthcare team believe this progressive approach could be a breakthrough for improving Felix's quality of life.
