On the 21/9/14 20 yr old Dale Robertson was involved in a near fatal car crash. His injuries landed him in intensive care in the western general hospital in Edinburgh for 6 wks. After 4 weeks of sedation he was then moved to HDU. He battled pneumonia and other infections and had an operation to stabilise his neck. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for us all and Dale has been strong throughout. After stabilising Dale enough he was eventually transported to the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough where he was taken to the spinal cord injury unit to complete his rehabilitation. Dale is now a C4 quadrapledgic but a scan has shown that hopefully in time he will get back the use of his arms and hands. Our aim is to now raise funds to help not only Dale but his family with expenses associated with travel, adaptations needed to get Dale home again and in the long run buy the hospital a much needed specialist chair to help other patients out of the ward. His family thanks everyone for cards gifts messages etc, keep it coming it helps Dale stay positive.
