Description
We desparately need your help!!!!!!
7 weeks ago Johnny Hayden travelled to the Barcelona Spine Hospital to undergo
routine disc replacement surgery on the top of his spine. After the operation, two
hematomas (bleeding) developed, one in his neck and the other on his spine.
Johnny was rushed down to surgery in an effort to drain both hematomas and
stabilise him. Unfortunately after the surgery, he was left paralysed from his
bellybutton down.
After Johnny's family went on the Joe Duffy Liveline Show, he was air ambulanced
back to the Mater Spinal Unit where he is now. There is hope that Johnny will walk
again but it's uncertain how long this will take. Johnny and Maite have 2 girls, 4 and 2,
and Maite is 6 months pregnant.
They need as much funding as possible to pay for their mortgage and bills and the many
other unexpected expenses they now have as a result of this situation.
We will be oragnising a number of fundraising activities over the next couple of
months and would really appreciate any support you can give.
Online donations can now be made for Chappies Challenge through the PayPal Link below.
