Ollie Thomson’s recovery fund

Thank you 🥰. Ollie has arrived safely back to Whanganui to start the next stage of his rehabilitation, while he has made amazing progress in the last 2 months and exceeded expectations he is far from a full recovery and has a very challenging road ahead of him. We don’t know what recovery will look like for Ollie, how long this will take and what disabilities will remain permanent but we are very hopeful.

A massive Thank You to the Taihape St John 1st responders, Taihape Fire Brigade , Rescue Helicopter, Christchurch Hospital surgical team, Burwood Spinal Unit rehabilitation team, The Rugby Foundation, ACC and all the medical teams involved in Ollie’s treatment, it’s been outstanding.

We also wanted to say Thank You so much for all the kindness, support and generosity we have received during this time from all the donations on the Give a Little page, private donations of funds directly to us, support from the all the Rugby Clubs, Whanganui Rugby Union, Pine Park bull donation, PGG Wrightsons, Piping Hot Plumbing, Barracks Bar, the many working bees, mufti days, bingo night, Rugby jersey auction, gift and supermarket vouchers, many other fundraisers, sheep donated to the stock drive, providing meals for the family, sending care packages to Christchurch, looking after all our many animals, mowing the lawns, loaning vehicles to us to use in Christchurch, the many visitors, phone calls, messages and well wishes - it’s truly been amazing and we are forever grateful!
