just for people who don't know basically someone caused him to have a massive stack - gave a false name etc and managed to disappear from the scene of the accident. as they dont know who the other guy was there is no insurance to help him and his mrs out.

your support would be great

a very worthy cause... and one I will be there to support... low life scum who did it deserves a horrid existence from here on in for being such a yellow belly!

Rapid Rave the insurance company probably wont pay out until formal charges are made against a person against whom they can then proceed to try and claim the money (damages) paid out (generally just in part, not in full). With some insurance companies it is a standard that they do not cover hit and run accidents... means too much loss from them and no ability to redeem any of the money. Besides he was on a bike, motor accident insurance is grey in this area unless someone comes forward and any personal insurance he has probably wouldn't cover him unless he'd specifically opted for cover for things he might need should something like this happen.. and who knows they will need insurance to cover becoming a paraplegic through no fault of your own?

victims of crime have limited funds and they are undoubtably doing all they can to assist the family of this guy, however they can't afford to support a paraplegic and his family long term, especially given that the kind of help they give often revolves around essential goods and services rather than an actual pay out.

This guys entire life has changed, victims of crime can't foot the bill to completely remodel his home or sustain his physical treatment for a lengthy period of time.

Anyway, it's worth supporting entirely because if it happened to me I'd need the kindness of others to get me through it too!

Some days, it's not even worth chewing through the restraints

Insurance wont give him much (fuk all really) this is because he was on a push bike. If it happend to him being on a motor vehichal he would get money for life!

The gutless prick that caused this was also on a push bike, but after 3or so months thanks to Today Tonight has owned up (or a friend of his dobed him in)

Well you know any friend of yours is a friend of mine so I will pop in early to ensure my money goes to a worthy cause...

Such a sad story and I know from personal experience after almost losing my life (I went through a windscreen of a car, it took 7 years to recover, I lost my face so now you know SIGO why my face is the way it is) that he has a very long road ahead and insurance wont do much especially considering I was 30% liable just for getting in the car although the accident was in no way my fault.

So knowing that guys please try to support this event even if you cannot attend donate some cash as he is going to need it....

Best wishes to Grant our thoughts are with you........

I know Grant quite well and have been friends with his GF for years. I saw him a couple of days after the accident and he was doing well.

He asked me how I went after my accident... :S His was considerably worse.

Even if the music or whatever doesnt interest come down and give your $10 and help this guy get a chance at life again. $10 means nothing to you and me but if a few hundred people do it he and Bec can live the life they should together.

I was asked to play at this thru Venus a few weeks ago but couldn't because of Hard Evolution tonight so i wish everyone a great time.

All for a good cause!

Music is what feelings sound like - Fredrick B Hahm

Arguing with people about the merits of certain types of music is, IMHO, largely futile. I have seen countless forumers arguing the point that "this style is good" and "that style is shit". From my experience you can't tell someone to like or dislike anything, they just do. With music, I always play somebody something I like, and ask what they think, rather than telling them why it's good, or why they should like it - Ivan Gogh

hopefully a lot of cash was raised
