Buddy with spinal injury needs help

Hi everyone at singletrack,
My riding buddy Jaime came off his bike and sustained a life-changing spinal injury during lockdown v1. (It was just a horrible freak accident on an easy trail.)
He’s finally made it out of hospital after a long time and he now needs support to sort his house out a bit to make it liveable with his injuries.

If you can help at all that’d be amazing. He has a justgiving page set up.

You might know Jaime from marshalling at ardrock/ardmoors and you might have seen his YouTube videos as middle aged MTbiker

Anyway, he’s a relentlessly positive dude, if you can help him and his family just a little bit that’d be amazing.

Thanks 🙏

Donated it could happen to any of us 🙁

Thanks @postierich Much appreciated 👍🏻

Done.
Huge respect for maintaining some positivity in all this.

Done. Really sorry to hear this. Wish him the best.

Donated, can this be pinned?

Be good to get that total up before Xmas.

Donated, all the best and good luck

Done. Like others have said, this could happen to any one of us. Thoughts and best wishes to Jamie and his family.

Thanks @icic @kayak23 @HB47. Yeah it’s amazing how positive he is.
He’s a bit of an inspiration really.
(Don’t tell him I said that 😄)
Your help is very much appreciated. 🙏

Donated. As said above there but for the grace of god.

All the best

Done, Happy Christmas to Jamie and family.

Donated. It’s made me choke up watching his videos on youtube. Say hi from north of the border & give him our best wishes.

Done, all the very best in the future for him and his family.

Thanks @funkrodent @gallowayboy @davesport @poopscoop 🙏🙂
Yeah he made me blub at work by sending me that video (What a knob) 😄
Will pass on everyone’s best wishes.

Donated.

Reported! (to ask it to be made a sticky.)
Well done Timbles for helping out your mate.

Thanks to all the anonymous STW folks donating. You’re all amazing 🙏
Hopefully we can get to his target and make life a bit better for Jaime and his family in the new year.

Donated! I hope he and his family can get some normality back to their lives with the adaptations to their home! Amazing how he can be so positive after such a life-changing event!

Having watched through some of these videos, Jamie is a humbling positive person . Donation made .

Donated. Some experience of spinal injury myself. He’ll be aware but there’s a supportive community out there. The Back Up Trust has made a big difference to many in similar situations. And Jamie seems to have the kind of attitude shown by many spinally injured folk I’ve met who have gone on to do the most inspiring of things.

Stickied.

I’ll donate later when I get home.

I lasted about 30 seconds into that video. 😢

Popped a few quid in. As others have said, could happen to us all, must be tough on his family too. Shut me up moaning about my shoulder that I hurt in a stupid little fall back in September… 🙂

Done and shared.

Donated. Best wishes to Jamie and his family.

Thanks for making this post sticky @Drac

Jaime has written a Facebook post as well so any shares on FB just to spread the word would be amazing too

Thanks 🙏
Tim

Done, not much but hopefully it helps get to the target.

Donated & shared via Facebook.

Whenever I see these kind of posts it really strikes home how quickly things can change & how amazingly positive people manage to be about whatever circumstance they find themselves in.

I wish Jaime a strong continued recovery & all the best for him & his family.

Done, what an inspirational family to be addressing this is such a balanced way.

Done, best of luck for your mate and his family.

Done, and shared via Twitter.
I don’t know whether Jaime (sp?) will see this but best wishes from the family Door.

Done. Story on the beeb.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-55276139

Thanks for the shares and all donations. Every donation makes a big difference. 😊
Every little bit we can raise is going to help Jaime and his family.

And yes, his Mum & Dad decided to spell his name in an interesting way.
Everyone spells it wrong 😄

Bloody hell, that could be literally any of us. It’s effing dusty in here. Donated

timbles – please pass on my best wishes to Jaime and the family.

Done, hoping that he reaches his target soon.

Done

Done. If the cost of a pub meal for me can go towards helping someone like him it’s literally the least I could do.

Done, Wish him all the best

Done

Done.

Done. As said above, that could be any of us.
