Story
Before reading this story we need to keep in mind a few things about Simon. He is fearlessly independent and shines bright with energy. Adventure is his middle name, and he gives fully to everyone that crosses his path. Well-being is part of his DNA, as is living life to the full.
On 2nd February 2023, Simon was involved in a terrible motorbike accident whilst on his commute to work. The accident caused severe breaks and damage to both legs.
Within hours of the accident and once stabilised, Simon was moved to Brighton hospital where the amazing specialists and Brighton team began to assess the damage. A team of dedicated surgeons then began the process to rebuild and mend the damage in his legs and ankles. Simon went through 3 intense surgeries in 4 days, while the medical team worked tirelessly to re-gain blood flow and ensure full mobility in his limbs. Despite success in treating the breaks in his right leg, the injuries incurred to his left leg and ankle were sadly too severe to save the limb. As a result, his left leg was amputated below the knee on 13th February 2023.
Simon is on a new path, a different path that we are determined to support him with - just like he has done for so many.
All donations are going to Simon to help his lifestyle, living and working environment be bright, powerful, vibrant and independent.
Donations will go towards:
-Finding a new home and adapting the living facilities.
-Adaptations to help with living and driving independently.
-Help towards prosthetic's for different activities.
-Annual Maintenance and assistance with Prosthetics.
Many thanks
From Simon's Team!
