Story
Kerr Fraser is a semi-professional footballer who currently plays with Gretna FC 2008. This season, Kerr has suffered two horrific injuries...his most recent has seen him sidelined with a ruptured ACL, 2 Meniscus tears and a fracture on his shin. These injuries are so significant that they are not only impacting his football but also his working life where he is a civil engineer and spends long hours on his feet...but this has not been possible due to his injuries.
What most people don't see is the significant impact that these kind of injuries have on a players mental health through being sidelined, unable to play and have that release and also the financial loss from not be able to work. In order for Kerr to return, he requires an operation which will take place on 21st December, however, this will come at a cost of £8500.
It is paramount for Kerr to get the treatment he needs and we are asking for some assistance in raising the money required to help him out as he is having to raise this himself to be able to have the operation.
We have been working closely with Kerr and know how much this injury has impacted him. The money raised will go directly towards Kerr's operation and will get him back to full fitness so he can get back to his full time work and playing football again...which will ultimately be of benefit to his physical and mental wellbeing.
Over the next week we will be sharing some items for auction to help raise the funds for Kerr, in the meantime if you can spare anything at all to help him then it really would be very much appreciated.
