    Story

    If you windsurf or have windsurfed at all in the last 30 years you will certainly know of Mr Dave White and will surely have encountered him somewhere on your travels, on the water, on the beach, in the shop, or in the bar after. And that encounter will have definitely been memorable! Unfortunately as many of you will know Whitey had a stroke back in June, which left him with very little movement down the right side of his body and a serious battle to get back to full health. Thankfully the NHS has been amazing since day 1 and provided him with some of the best support possibly to get him back on track on the road to recover.

    Now however the family has reached a bit of a stopping point. The NHS support is now coming to an end, and as his recover moves along, they now need more and more specialist machines and tools that can help Dave get his life back. These range from devices to aid walking, through to modified cameras that can allow him to get back to shooting, to mobility scooters, all of which obviously cost money.

    Dave has been an amazing ambassador for windsurfing. He has given endlessly of his time, his knowledge and motivation – and now here's your chance to give back. This Crowdfund has been set up to provide a small fund that can be used so that his recovery can be as quick as possible, with the right help available at the right moments throughout his recovery. Whether it is simply getting back to full mobility, being able to take great pics again or ultimately getting back on a windsurf board, we all want him to have him the best possible chance.

      Some great Christmas news from the White household. Dave just passed a driving assessment and will soon be back behind the wheel. This is exactly the sort of thing this fund was set up for and thanks to everybody’s contributions, some of this fund can pay for the necessary conversion to the car. This is a huge step forward in both mobility for Dave and towards getting his old life back. So friends of Dave all over the UK can put the kettle on in preparation. Dave and all his family thank everyone dearly and wish you all a Happy Christmas.

    I am one of the many people who Whitey has helped along the way. Thanks to him I have had so many opportunities in life and now this is my chance to give something back.
