Sadly on Wednesday 14th June Ben was involved in an accident, he was airlifted to the Newcastle RVI. Ben is currently in an induced coma after undergoing surgery having sustained serious injuries.

Ben, 17 from Penrith is a sports mad young man, he plays football for Penrith Football Club and recently got back into playing cricket for Penrith 1st team he’s also a huge Nottingham Forest fan and a few weeks ago was celebrating the club retaining their premiership status. The Ellis family would like to thank everyone from both Penrith clubs for all the messages of love & support which has meant the world to them all.

This page has been created in order to raise funds for all the Ellis family as they visit Ben in hospital daily over in Newcastle. The funds raised will go towards travel & hotel costs as Ben is given the utmost support in his recovery.

Anything that can be donated will mean that the financial strain that will be on Paul, Amanda and James can be lifted and allow them to focus on Ben as he fights in his recovery.

Ben, we know you won’t see this for a while but everyone is thinking about you and we all know how tough you are, we’re all praying you’ll be back causing mayhem either at football or cricket sometime soon.

Paul, Amanda & Jimmy, words can‘t tell you how much everyone is thinking of you and at times like this you almost feel helpless, we hope that the money raised will help you in anyway possible, we’re all routing for Ben💚💙
