Story
PLEASE SUPPORT US!
On the 6th August 2012 Dylan my son was hit by an
uninsured drunk driver whilst riding his motorcycle home from a friend.
Dylan sustained several life threatening injuries. A piece of glass had completely severed his trachea and oesophagus and had become lodged against his spinal column. His stomach had been forced up into his chest rupturing his diaphragm, he had bruised lungs, bleeding on the brain, two broken arms, a broken ankle, broken neck, he lost 8inches of bone in his left arm, vocal cord severed, nerve damage to his right arm, internal bleeding and a life threatening low blood pressure suggesting an uncontrolled haemorrhage.
The medics from WILTSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE & SWIFT MEDICS worked on Dylan for over an hour at the roadside to make sure he had every chance to survive the air lift to the hospital. After stabilising Dylan's condition, they flew him to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital where he underwent a 15 hour
operation.
The heroic actions of these amazing professionals have touched our hearts beyond words. In trying to express this emotion and to thank them deeply, we have decided to raise money for these amazing charities by running the Oxford Half Marathon on October 9th 2016.
It’s only a small gesture to express our thanks. How can you really thank someone who saved your son's life?
