Our beloved friend, son, brother, and family member Marcel Syron has had a terrible accident in Panama.

After intrepidly sailing his yacht through the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic and around the Caribbean, he has had a significant and serious accident.

Marcel Syron was critically injured in an accident on the 26th of March, 2023. Marcel suffered spinal injuries and is on the long road to recovery. Please show your support to Marcel by donating to his cause.

Marcel is currently in the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital in Panama, and is expected to spend the next 2-3 months there.

Your donations will help assist with costs related to Marcels road to recovery

This is Marcel's Instagram page, which documents the incredible sailing adventure he has been on:

Update on Marcel  15 September 2023

Hi Team

Thought I would post an article on Marcel and provide a further update

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/homecoming-northland-yachtie-finally-returns-to-nz-after-months-in-panama-hospital/IO4QKTZGA5F7BLDTRDTOKZVSXU/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR3Ryiaps3VSUtXQ68oSr4YVfsI_YwG_PtAcrhiJrDf5_-Q7qot2gjs6kNA#Echobox=1693853416

Marcel has now been at Middlemore for around 6 weeks and is making progress.

I am with Marcel now and these are his words -

"Hello team. I'm finding it difficult to find the words to express my gratitude to you all for bringing me home. It has and will be some of the most challenging times of my life, certainly a journey made possible with your help. As tough as it may have been I'm optimistic about the future and have entertained myself with daydreams of the good times ahead, projects and dreams. Lots and lots of love, Marcel"
