In lacrosse we are one big family. We give so much of our time, energy, and efforts to each other to help the sport grow, to get the game on, to play the creator's game which gives us so much in return. Now one of our family needs our help.
A few weeks ago, David 'Wavey' Leach, an international veteran and popular member of the lacrosse community, suffered a major and life-changing injury while playing lacrosse, and a fundraiser has been launched by his wife to help cover the costs and support their family in this time of need. Please donate what you can.
Fundraiser Message:
Let me introduce David Leach, England and Wales La Crosse Player, Osteopath, husband, father and if you ever had the pleasure of meeting him, one of the most vibrant, energetic and lovers of life you'd ever meet!
On December 11th 2022, Davey started his day like any other Sunday, playing his well-loved sport La Crosse with his team Thundercats (Part of the England Box Lacrosse Development League). During the game, Davey dived for the ball and unfortunately collided with an oncoming player and broke his neck at level C3/4.
Davey's life immediately changed overnight. As a cranial/spinal expert, Davey was fully aware of the severity of the injury and the life-changing journey he and the family will now face.
Davey has an impact on every person he meets in life. He is kind, generous and thoughtful, someone who always gives his all to his family, friends, community and work life (basically everyone he ever meets!)
Whilst we are still in the dark as to what will happen next, the reality is we are unsure of his future at the moment and his journey to recovery will be a long hard path. His hospitalisation currently has no definite prognosis to the final outcome.
The funds we are trying to raise, are targeted to help cover his loss of earnings, ensuring the family can pay household bills, medical care, travel and transportation along with childcare costs to care for him. We are also hoping to overtime purchase mobility aids and eventually assist with large house developments or relocation to suitable accommodation.
Davey has always supported himself and everyone around him and now the family finds themselves in a state of need to be able to give Davey the care he needs.
To follow his progress and journey to recovery, we will update this page, otherwise, please check out our new Instagram page @waveydaveylaxrecovery
Thank you for your time!
