Fundraiser Launched for Adventurous Young Man in Liverpool Hospital Following TT Accident
A fundraiser has been initiated for 27-year-old Anthony O’Carroll, an adventurous young motorcycle racer who is currently hospitalised in the UK after a severe motorbike accident.
Anthony O’Carroll, a mechanic from Ballyduff, Kerry, was seriously injured in a motorbike crash on the Isle of Man. He was first taken to Nobles Hospital and then airlifted to the Walton Centre for Neuroscience in Liverpool due to the extent of his injuries.
Since the accident, Anthony has been in the ICU, initially kept in an induced coma and intubated. He sustained multiple broken bones, which will require future surgeries, and significant head trauma. Anthony is the only child of his devoted parents, Mary and Neilus, who have flown from Ireland to be with him. His father is still recovering from an illness last year.
A third-generation motor mechanic, Anthony is known for his zest for life, infectious smile, and love for motorbikes, stemming from a family respected in the motor trade.
Currently unconscious, Anthony will need extensive rehabilitation. Lacking insurance, a fundraiser has been started to cover his medical expenses.
“Anthony is a strong, bright, kind, and caring young man who is highly respected in our community,” reads a post on GoFundMe.
“He always strives to do his best in everything, from work to racing, and helping others. Knowing his competitive spirit, he is undoubtedly fighting hard right now.
“Since Anthony’s accident, we have received overwhelming support from family and friends. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone during this challenging time.
“Anthony and his family need everyone’s help now more than ever. Please support him and his parents through this difficult period.
“Donations will help alleviate the financial burden of Neilus and Mary’s stay in Liverpool and fund Anthony’s future rehabilitation. Every contribution, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. If you cannot donate, please share this page with your friends and family to spread the word.”
The GoFundMe has already raised an impressive €30,764, surpassing the initial €30,000 target. To donate, click here.
