Anthony's Story
In April 2007, Anthony Ramsdale was involved in a horrific road traffic accident that changed his life beyond any recognition. The accident left him permanently brain damaged and in a coma for seven months.
Against all odds and after a massive battle with the authorities, Anthony was transferred to an ABI unit in Colwyn Bay, North Wales where he underwent and continues to undergo extensive rehabilitation in the hope that his standard of life can one day return to some sort of normality.
Anthony's family have been refused a benefit called DLA which would have given their son specialised transport. The reason given by the Government was that Anthony is not living on his own, with or without full time carers, or with his parents. The fact that this is totally impossible due to the severity of his brain damage and injuries cut no ice despite the family employing a solicitor to fight for their cause.
So it has been decided that the 'Anthony Ramsdale Appeal' will now step up a gear and endeavor to raise enough money to get the specialised vehicle themselves. They have recieved help from several Soul nights and other fundraising events and in February this year we helped them with a Punk Rock fundraiser featuring Flat Back Four, Chief, The Shuffle, Global Parasite and Ugly Fashion. Succesfully raising £570 on the night.
So this time we will be aiming to raise enough money to completely finish paying for the specialised vehicle and if theres any left over put it in the petrol tank and/or save it for MOTs, Insurance an all the rest of it!!
If you'd like to help out at all by giving flyers to friends or at other gigs you might go to between now and July 23rd, please get in touch.
