eccc whippet Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 The support system is what gets you through difficult times...it sounds like he has a good support...help him and he will recover. Jared dwyer was going to attempt a double Everest in Durban...as you know he is no longer with us...however there is nothing stopping a group of cyclist from achieving his goal...even if it was done in a relay format...and at the same time raising funds for a good cause...this would be a good cause. https://www.facebook.com/impossiblejareddwyer/
bodger Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Morning guys, Sorry I haven't checked in here for a while. Thank you for all your donations. Darryn says if someone touches his legs he can feel it but he can't move them. He says he is also getting weird sensations up and down his legs from time to time. He is an eternal optimist, he won't stop believing that he will walk but in the mean time he needs to be looked after. As you guys suggest its not cheap to do all the rehab he will need. My mission was to get his hospital bills paid for so he has no debt and get him started again once his wounds and bones are healed. The amount of money raised so far will make a good start towards that. I'm just really chuffed with the response from everyone. So thank you all again for your thoughts, messages and donations. Ham
