Neil and his family would like everyone to know he has entered intensive rehab therapy. Neil has suffered a spinal cord injury that has resulted in loss of movement to his lower body, however, he remains hopeful and committed to pushing himself as far as he can at rehab. As most can imagine this has been a very traumatic time for Neil and his family and hence why they have asked for some privacy these last few weeks. This journey Neil is on requires the perseverance, dedication and an excellent outlook on life that we have seen from him on ice. With his drive and determination and the prayers of the nation behind him, we look forward to hearing of progress over this next stage. Friends of Doef will continue to administer the Doefstrong in trust account at the Scotiabank. We will support fund raising efforts with consultation and approval of the family. This will allow them to focus on Neil. There will be many changes needed for short term and potentially long term for Neil and all funds raised will go towards these needs. To date we are thrilled to say that from here at home in Smiths Falls to across Canada and USA we have raised $100,000. Much more will be needed as needs become more apparent, but we are off to a great start. Thank you to everyone. As fund raisers continue we will update our social media accounts (Doefstrong page on FB, @doefstrong on Twitter) Donations can be made at any Scotiabank to Doefstrong in trust or by e-transfer to doefstrong@gmail. Again from the family, thank you for the support and privacy allowing them time to adjust.
