Tom 'Chubby' Dempsey Treatment Fund

Tom ' Chubby' Dempsey is 39 years old and lives in Portarlington, Co. Laois. After an accident in work in 2005, he had a discectomy in 2007 and again in 2009 on his back at L4/L5/S1. Both procedures were unsuccessful. Chubby now has 6 degenerated discs in his lower back and is In chronic pain. The consultant in Dublin basically sent him home a few months ago and told him he has to live with it, as nothing they can do so after months of research his wonderful wife Rosemarie found a place in Barcelona, Spain (Dr Gilete) that performs stem cell treatment for Chubby's problem. This involves travelling to Barcelona and having stem cells removed from his pelvis which they then process for 21 days after which they travel back to Barcelona and the cells are injected into the discs. The idea behind this treatment is that the stem cells regenerate and restore the discs, nerves and muscles. The total cost of the treatment runs into the 10's or thousands and his family needs your help in getting his chronic and disabling condition sorted once and for all.

There will be a number of fundraising events over the next few months and your support will be very much appreciated. On the 24th of September a benefit night will be held, more details to follow.
