Hi Guys
I hope everyone is well and staying safe. I hope this is ok to post but please remove if not.
I have decided due to a close friend having a roadside accident and becoming tetraplegic to do a virtual fundraiser for Spinal Cord Injuries Association.
They have supported him during his time at hospital, providing peer support, free legal advice, and sorting aftercare for him and counselling as he comes to terms with it.
These injuries really are life changing, most end up paralysed, paraplegic or tetraplegic, So the funds raised will be used to enable them to continue to support anyone who suffers an SCI (Spinal Cord Injury). Today 7 people in the UK will suffer one, there is 50,000 nationally (enough to fill Ibrox). If they dont get help from the Spinal Centres, their chances of recovery are much slimmer. The NHS at the current time is having to close these units due to Covid pressures, so the work they do is more vital than ever in terms of nursing, peer support, welfare advice, and advocacy to make sure they get the correct care package.
I know there are so many amazing appeals on here, so please just auction items, they do not necessarily have to be rangers, anything auctionable
I do not wish to ask for money or do a justgiving at the current time, I think everyone is skint enough
All i am looking for is rangers items or items for our virtual raffle, this can be anything, but please nothing that is valued or anything you dont need. Just anything thats fit for raffle.
The club have indicated they will support us which is fantastic, so anything from anyone would be extremely valued and appreciated
I would also like to salute @onceuponabriggsbear for his support again this year. A true gent and a true rangers man
If you have anything pm me or leave a comment below.
Thanks for reading
