Jays road to recovery will be slow & rehab will not start for 8weeks . Jay will be unable to work for some time.

Waikato

On the 18th of August while snowboarding on Whakapapa Jay slipped and fell 5m off a drop landing head first in a hole in the ice just a few metres from hitting the ground .

Although the hole saved him the ice broke C6 & C7 of his cervical spine. He was airlifted to Waikato and a fusion of 3 vertebrae was successful with no paralysis.

Jay is now on the long road to recovery which may take up to a year. Any help will Nobel very appreciated.

New beginnings  15 January 2020

Happy new year everyone!

20/20 is going to be the best year yet .

Looking back at my recovery I have so many things to be thankful for and you are all part of those thoughts 🙏.

My recovery would not have been the same if were not for your kind and encouraging messages and your donations.

I have been able to extend my pool and gym rehab and am now past the past Management stage and onto upper body training and my physio is pleased with the outcome as am I .

I have an MRI scan follow up in early February to see if my bone fusion has taken which means I can ease back to surfing and work .. that’ll be another great couple of days !

Elysia amd I recently walked to the Tarawera falls which was a magic day and one to remember. Each journey now makes me realise just how precious life is and how lucky I am to be surrounded by such amazing friends and family .

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
