Stephen Corroon is a keen cyclist and a member of Lakeside Wheelers Cycling Club Mullingar with whom he has participated in several leisure and competitive events. Stephen is 41 years old, married to Aoibhinn and they have two young children, Hazel, 9 years and Billy, 5 years.On the May bank holiday weekend 2024, Stephen set off to participate in the Orwell Wheelers Randonnee in the Dublin Mountains. This is the day his life changed forever. His wife Aoibhinn received the dreaded call that Stephen had fallen from his bike. After medical examination it was found that Stephen had a cervical spine injury and he was told that he had been left with a profound and permanent neurological deficit and unlikely that he would have use of his legs or arms again. Since the accident, Stephen has spent nine weeks under the care of the amazing team in the National Spinal Injuries Unit in the Mater Hospital and is now in Tullamore Regional Hospital awaiting transfer to the National Rehabilitation Hospital, Dun Laoighire. He has made some progress but right now the future is unknown. Lakeside Wheelers are raising funds to help Stephen and his family to overcome the challenges he faces. Stephens immediate requirements include significant home adaptations, the need for extensive equipment to ensure his safe and dignified care at home as well as long term input from occupational therapy and physiotherapy personnel.Currently, Stephen is entirely dependent on others for every aspect of his daily life including self-care, feeding and personal hygiene. Lets all work together to try and make this journey just a little bit easier for Stephen and his family.Any unused funds raised will be donated to a charity of Stephen and Aoibhinns choice.Click here to DonateVIA LAKESIDE WHEELERSThe post Stephen Corroon Fundraiser appeared first on IrishCyclingNews.com | Irish Cycling News | IrishCycling.
