Story
John Macphail sadly sustained a life changing injury that will necessitate significant adaptions to his family home. These will enable his long-awaited return from hospital where he has been fighting hard since December 2021.
John has fought hard and is currently staying at Walkergate Park hospital receiving neurological rehabilitation. The main aim in the next few weeks/months is to get John back home to his family who miss him terribly.
His home is currently been adapted to suit his needs, however the alterations and the cost of equipping his home for him are extremely expensive.
Please donate what you can to support John and his family.
Let’s get Monty home!

2 years agoAfter nearly 6 months at Walkergate Park hospital, John has made significant improvements. With all your generous donations made so far we have progressed well with the adaptions to his home, his wife, Diane can't wait to have him home. On 15th March 2023, there is a football match at The Stadium of Light, where Sunderland FC will take on Sheffield United. John played for both these teams and he loved playing for them both, at different times in his career. We hope this game will help with fundraising for his continued rehabilitation.
