Hope it's OK to post this, but it's from a member in the other place. @The GOAT please move/make sticky/moderate as you see fit.

Hi.

On September 5th I was thrown from my Panigale at around 100mph on a track day at Silverstone.

I suffered life threatening injuries (numerous fractures and internal organ injuries) and was given 11 units of blood and plasma (2 at Silverstone, the balance at Coventry Serious Trauma Unit). The Doctors told my wife and children that I may not pull through.

I owe my life to so many but I want to ask your help in supporting The Air Ambulance Service, who airlifted me from Silverstone to Coventry. They were landed at Silverstone within 20 minutes of getting the call from the Medical Centre and, as you no doubt know, exist solely through public donations.

The Air Ambulance Service cover Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rultand. If you do trackdays, that's Silverstone, Donington and Mallory and, if you don't do trackdays, that's a massive road network. They have also been called to attend Cadwell. They also cover the UK for the Children's Air Ambulance. I cannot think of a better cause personally.

Please find a link to my just giving page below and give anything that you can - you never know when you or yours might need their help.

Thanks again everyone. My fight continues.

I'm glad to hear you survived and agree this is a worthy cause. I'm sure you've got a ways to go to full recovery and wish you the best.
 
Wonderful resource we are so lucky to have.

Have visited Wiltshires new set up in Semington - very impressive.. they were our main charity when I worked for QinetiQ. They also do Biker Down classes there.

I now subscribe to their monthly 'lottery' I even won 22 pounds once :)
 
@GarySN it’s been made a sticky and it’s been featured so it will appear on the front page. Can you add the DF user’s name, either real or the one they use on DF. Also put a link back to the original thread on DF too, we’re all part of the same community, Ducatisti 👍
Thanks a lot.

User on DF is Expat Jack, real name Richard Bennell. Link below.

EJ was on here for a while, it sounds like he was lucky.
Send him my/our best wishes please Gary.
 
Give him my regards too :)(y)

We have a local photographer who snaps bikes as they pass on ride outs and gives all proceeds from this to the Air Ambulance. I'm about to buy a couple of pictures off him even though the lower res ones on his fb page are good enough. Fab cause unlike a lot of charities! His £3 charge will be upped to a more suitable amount as some doing this kind of thing for a living and not charity charge loads!
