THANK YOU

Apache

The request for funding for Spinal Injuries Scotland came to Apache North Sea’s Bond Charity Programme’s attention through a nomination by Brian Seawright, who works on one of their offshore installations, following a life-changing accident of his colleague and friend, Stuart McMillan.

Stuart suffered a T6-7 spinal injury which rendered him paraplegic. During Stuart’s stay at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, Spinal Injuries Scotland provided Stuart with invaluable help, allaying fears and providing support and encouragement. Stuart has enjoyed sailing, swimming and hand-biking and will, because of the support of Spinal Injuries Scotland, compete in the Inter-Spinal Unit Games at Stoke Mandeville in April.

Apache representatives came to the office with Stuart and his wife for the official cheque presentation to the charity and to discuss the best use of the generous donation.

Thanks to all of you who have been hard at work fundraising for our charity. We are always so delighted to hear your stories, so please keep up the good work. Your efforts are hugely appreciated.
