Help Michelle Eastburn Get Back on Her Feet

Mid-last year, our dear friend and colleague Michelle Eastburn suffered a life-changing spinal injury while visiting Queensland, leaving her without movement or feeling from the torso down. This injury has not only affected Michelle physically and emotionally but has also impacted her career and the adventurous lifestyle she loves.

Yet, through unimaginable challenges, Michelle has shown incredible strength, resilience, and determination. Since April 2024, she has undergone multiple surgeries—including a T4 to T10 spinal fusion—and has spent months in intense daily rehabilitation, all while being far from her family and friends in a Queensland hospital.

Now back in New South Wales and adjusting to life in a specialist disability unit, Michelle now faces additional hurdles. However, in true Michelle fashion, she continues to fight on.

Michelle Now Needs Our Help For The Battle Ahead

Michelle has always been there for others—now it’s our turn to be there for her. The goal is to explore every possible treatment and rehabilitation option available to give Michelle the best chance to walk again and return to the lifestyle she loves.

While she has access to traditional rehabilitation programs, many promising therapies are not covered by insurance. We’re calling on Michelle’s friends, family, and the motorcycling community to come together and support her journey. Every donation, big or small, will go directly toward her recovery, including access to cutting-edge treatments and vital equipment needed in her recovery.

Let’s Rally for Michelle—Donate Today!

Please donate and share this campaign to spread the word. Together, we can help Michelle get back to doing what she loves.
