With the Christmas season approaching the Grant family is focusing on one thing, raising enough money to ensure 22-year-old Tony gets the intensive medical care he needs to recover from a serious road accident.The motocross racer was on Government's Health Insurance Plan when he crashed his bike into a sidewalk and tree in St. David's around 10pm on October 19.HIP does not cover overseas care, which means his family must foot the bill if they want him to recover from the brain damage he sustained.The accident left Tony intensive care at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for nearly a month.Since late November he has been on the general ward as his family raises money to send him for rehabilitation treatment at Spaulding Hospital, in Boston.So far they have $30,000, but they need $150,000 and hope to send him to the renowned hospital in three weeks.“He is doing ok,” his mother Sonja Grant told The Royal Gazette yesterday. “He is now walking with help. We are trying to get him to eat on his own.“The only word he can say is no, but he does nod his head when he wants to answer yes or shrug his shoulders.“At the moment he is getting one hour of therapy Monday to Friday. At Spaulding he would receive five to six hours every day. He needs this jump start to help him on the road to recovery.”On a scale of one to eight of the internationally recognised Ranch Los Amigos Level of Cognitive Recovery scale Tony is now at stage four, which means he is easily confused and frightened and does not always understand what is happening around him.It is the same position 16-year-old Shakir Amory was in after a drunk driver struck him in May.He too was at stage four but his family had private health insurance, which meant Shakir was sent to Spaulding and has since returned to classes at CedarBridge Academy.Local doctors believe Tony would be ready for Spaulding in three weeks.Since the accident his family have held bake sales and tag days.They hope that with the help of registered charity number 700, the Batwa Seaton's People Charity, the community will help raise the approximately $90,000 needed.In a fundraising letter written on behalf of Tony by his family they wrote: “If I could speak I would ask please, please give me another chance at life and I promise I will make the most of it and I will personally come back to Bermuda and thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.“These donations would be used to cover air transportation and care at Spaulding. An expense report will be made available to anyone who makes donation to verify how the funds are being spent.”To make a donation to the Tony Grant fund members of the community can write a cheque to the Batwa Seaton's People Charity or donate to the charity's HSBC account 011-015161-011.
