...and I'm running a marathon to raise cash for his recovery and hopefully get him a better leg than the clog on a stick the NHS will give him

 

A lot of you will already know the story, but on a dark October morning back 2022 my brother Ant suffered catastrophic injuries after falling off the ledge of a property we worked on together.

 

He pretty much broke every bone in both legs including heel, ankle a triple open compound fracture on his right leg.

 

Fast forward 3&half years, 10 operations, skin transplants and a gazillion complications he's reached the point where his right leg is being amputated.

 

This despite all the best efforts from all involved in trying to save his leg, the constant chronic pain, infections and various other complications has left him with no other option.

 

After the amputation he will face a long and tough recovery but hopefully this decision will get him his life back and start again with the best prosthetic leg we can get him.

 

Thank you in advance for any donations to aid him through his recovery.

 

My marathon is in Manchester on 19th April 2026

Fair play bud- where can us non online bankers donate? If I coax @royal white to training can I throw him a few quid?

Yeah pal no worries at all. He's coming over this way with my next bonus ball prize anyway.

Well done.

What time are you aiming for next year?

They are going to have a bloke dressed as a copper waving a hard drive running behind him.......he should set a new world record 🤣🤣

Hope yesterday has gone OK, and well done for Sunday.

My daughter ran it too  - we were there opposite the watering station near the 25 mile mark - her first Marathon, and our first watching - we got a buzz just cheering everybody on.

BTW - She did it in 4:51 so you were beaten by a girl.

300 robots ran the Beijing half marathon last week and the winner beat the human world record by 7 mins

If the money stretches that far @gonzo should buy his brother some robot legs 

 

 

My bro has his leg off today at Preston Royal.

They kept him awake and gave him an epidural! 

Madness.

Not sure why but I thought it'd be quite a complicated operation but he was in and out in 45 mins.

Makita multi-tool and bosh straight off.

He rang me talking utter broken biscuits smashed off hit tits on whatever they'd loaded him with

They reckon he could be home middle of next week. Not fucking about.

With the amount of metal in it he could weigh the cunting thing in

Sad to see but the only way is forward now... at least things can at last start healing.

All the best for the lad
