Help fund immediate, future and unforeseen costs that professional rugby player Michael Fatialofa and his family will be faced with following his life-changing spinal cord injury in January 2020.

Story

We never know what is around the corner and in a blink of an eye, lives can be tragically changed!

On Saturday 4th January 2020, within 60 seconds of coming onto the rugby pitch, Worcester Warriors Michael Fatialofa sustained a life-changing spinal cord injury from a tackle gone wrong. Michael was rushed off the pitch by paramedics to an Intensive Care Unit in a London hospital, but was immediately paralysed from the neck down. The reality of spinal trauma is a future marked with uncertainty, but Michael is prepared for an outstretched road to recovery. A go-getter by nature, Michael is determined to defy the many odds stacked against him by focusing his energy on rehab, which he hopes to start as soon as possible.

This campaign will raise funds to support Michael and his family with his needs throughout this testing time. With the ongoing uncertainty over Michaels prognosis, length of rehabilitation and future career/work prospects, donations will help cover immediate necessities as well as future finances, costs and unforeseen expenses of Michael and his family.
