Help support Sam and family on his road to recovery following a serious injury to his C3, C4 and C5 vertebrae.

Cromwell, Otago

Sam, Samara and their gorgeous baby daughter - Luca are a local family living in Cromwell. Sam is well known in the community for helping others. He is the Vice President at Central Motor Speedway as well as being a serious Sprintcar competitor in partnership with Freeman Motorsport.

Unfortunately, over the weekend Sam was involved in an accident whilst racing in the last round of War of the Wing's in Cromwell resulting in a fracture to his C3 vertebrae and a compression injury to his C4, and C5. He is currently in Dunedin Hospital with a brace restricting his neck and upper body movements. He is to be in a brace for 12 weeks and is looking at a further 3 months plus of rehabilitation following this.

Loads of people would like to get behind Sam, Samara and Luca in order to take the pressure off whilst Sam is recovering. We welcome donations to go towards general living expenses and anything else the family may require whilst Sam is on the mend.
