Fundraiser launched to help injured Anthony O’Carroll
Family and friends of injured motorcycle racer Anthony O’Carroll have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of his medical care and future rehabilitation.
The Ballyduff man was involved in a serious accident while competing in the Southern 100 Road Races in the Isle of Man in early July.
He remains unconscious at the Walton Centre for Neuroscience located in Aintree University Hospital Liverpool and has many broken bones that will require surgical procedures in the future.
His parents Mary and Neilus have been maintaining a bedside vigil since and will remain there for the foreseeable future.
The fundraiser has been launched to help his parents offset some of their day-to-day bills and to help with future medical care Anthony may need.
“Anthony did have insurance and this will cover a certain amount of his medical needs for now,” said family friend Aoife Flavin who set up the fundraiser,
His family are known far and wide and are well respected in the motor trade. Anthony himself is a third-generation motor mechanic. Anthony always has a real zest for life, and his passion in life is his love for motorbikes which is always evident by his infectious smile and that famous smile we all want to see again.
“He always encourages himself to do his best with everything he does such as work, racing, and helping where he can, and knowing the competitive streak going through his body he most certainly is doing that right now. Since the news of Anthony’s crash, a significant amount of support has been shown to both family and friends, and on behalf of us all we would like to say a massive thank you to everyone during this challenging time.”
