This page has been set up to raise funds for Damian Jobson and his family.
Damian was injured in a rugby league game on Saturday 21st May resulting in several fractures in his c4&5 vertebrae leaving him to face his future as a quadriplegic which means many months of rehab and based in Sydney with his young family having to travel to be there with him. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and will go towards medical expenses and support for Brooke and their young boys.

As you all can imagine this is a very difficult time for our family. Yes our lives have been changed forever, we have been set on an unexpected journey. A new chapter has been written. Just to let you all know I am reading all your well wishes. Thankyou and keep them coming, they are comforting and it is giving us the strength to move forward. The love you all have for my family leaves me totally gobsmacked. I hope my message can reach everyone who has supported our family with love to us all and the donations you have made to Damian, Brooke and the children. I hope one day I can personally thank you all for your kindness and generosity.
