Layth Abdulla

Maybe you all have a friend like Layth, someone who will "show up" for you, with an ability to make you feel loved, understood and cherished even in your darkest moments. On 5th August 2016 tragedy hit our beautiful friend Layth. He had a serious accident whilst out on a cycling trip to celebrate his 40th birthday. The consequences were devastating. He was tragically and cruelly left paralysed from the waist down and has been told he will never walk again. And yet, whilst lying in a hospital bed coming to terms with the magnitude of these life changing events, Layth's concern has been for the wellbeing of his wife, their three children and the reality of their future with no insurance to cover the costs of what's needed to manage their new life.
