Story

Bob Anthony had a motorbike accident in Thailand. This has resulted in a broken neck and paralysis. He is breathing through a ventilator via tracheotomy.

Bob's condition is critical and he needs to be in the UK to receive surgery and rehabilitation if any chance of recovery is possible.

Bob served with distinction in The Royal Signals for fourteen (14) years and immediately thereafter joined the West Mercia Police, where he served a further twenty (20) years.

Please help bring one of our own boys back home. Every donation counts, is critical and I wholeheartedly appreciate your kind generosity.

Money will go toward full medical repatriation - prices are being confirmed by the British Embassy in Bangkok, however, if this cost is too high, we will embark on an ex British Military exercise to complete the mission with our own doctor, paramedics and medical equipment - paramedics we have on board - we need a doctor. Ex military are assisting this end also.

Massive support has already been given by Help For Heroes, The Royal British Legion, Army Benevolent Fund - The Soldiers Charity - thank you all so much. With this campaign, I hope to achieve support from The Royal Signals, The Police Federation and as many authorities who can assist - including you. Please share, cast the net far and wide and make this happen.

Together, we are stronger and the British Army never leave a man behind!
