Dylan Folmer’s Accident Recovery

Dylan was on his way to the family farm to do some work when he was in a dirt biking accident. On the trail he’s taken thousands of times, he hit a rut that threw him directly into a tree; breaking his hip, femur, toe and finger. Fearing he didn’t have much time, he crawled to where his phone had landed and called for help. After lying there alone for about an hour, his dad and the ambulance arrived.

The ambulance took him to the hospital where he went into a 7 hour surgery. They placed rods and pins into both his hip and femur along with wires to help the compound fracture in his finger.

He has a long road of recovery ahead of him while he learns to walk again, but his first focus is getting out of the hospital so he can get home to his family. Dylan is a very strong minded person who doesn’t give up very easily. His wife, Briane, has taken time off work to assist him in the hospital, he wants to thank everyone for the texts, calls and in person visits he’s received so far as it’s been a tough battle. The support he has around him helps him push harder to get better and keep his head up. He is looking forward to continuing his physio and continuing to build his strength back.

Any amount of support is helpful to cover the medical and transportation costs to recovery for both Dylan and his wife who will be his primary caregiver over the next number of months.
