Fundraiser for seriously injured Peel man

Fri, 21 Dec 2012

 

A fundraising event will held tonight for a Peel man who’s being treated in hospital for life-threatening head injuries.

33-year-old father of three Darryl McGeown is currently in Walton Hospital in Merseyside, where he’s set to spend Christmas.

Darryl is a motorcycle rider who competes in the Manx Grand Prix and also plays rugby for the Western Vikings.

His team mates are holding an event at the Creek Inn in Peel to raise money to help his family pay for travel and accommodation so they can be at his bedside.

Fellow rugby players will be collecting cash in buckets and well-wishers have also donated several thousands pounds worth of raffle prizes.
