Chris’ Motorbike Accident

Please note: Jason Watson (Chris’ brother in law) will be receiving and passing on any money raised. Here is Chris’ story…

My little brother, Chris (Christian Richardson), needs our help. He recently won his first Muay Thai fight, but now is in a different fight to overcome terrible injuries sustained in a major motorbike accident that happened on April 13, the the first day of Songkran (Thai New Year holiday).

Chris was hit by a pickup truck as he was leaving a coffee shop, and suffered many injuries and broken bones. Miraculously, he didn't die or have any brain or spinal injuries. Chris was initially treated at a hospital in Koh Samui for 3 days before being airlifted to Bangkok where he is currently undergoing further surgeries. At the moment, he is unable to get out of bed and is fighting a bad infection in his foot where he has a large open wound. In the next few days, he is going to need an eye/facial surgery to repair a broken cheek bone and a bad orbital floor fracture.

The insurance company has been assessing the case, although we think it unlikely that they will pay, a decision has not been made yet (today is day 12) and as a result our family has had to pay out significant sums of money. To give you an idea the first 2 days of treatment cost 1.1M thai baht (~25,000 GBP or 32,000 USD).

If you have the ability to donate then it would be most appreciated. If not then I ask a small favour of you, please pray for his recovery.

If the insurance company decides in his favour then all funds will be refunded.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help in any way they can. We need to support our fighter get through this as I know we all want to see him get back to training and having a laugh with us over a pint of Guinness.

Christian’s brother in law (my husband Jason Watson) will be the beneficiary on his behalf and distribute the funds to Christian via bank transfer when the hospital bills need paying for. Thank you so much again.
