<div>My brother, <strong>Gerard Donakowski</strong>, has suffered a life-changing medical condition that could use your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This past summer, Gerard had four surgeries on his left leg that ultimately resulted in a mid-thigh amputation. He has a long road to recovery ahead of him, both physically and mentally.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is presently confined to a wheelchair and is unable to work. I am reaching out to see if you could provide any financial assistance. <strong>This GoFundMe will be used for his medical expenses, loss of work income, and expenses related to daily living now that he is an amputee.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gerard is a 1983 graduate of the University of Michigan, where he was co-captain of the 1983 Big Ten Championship track team.  In 1986 he was the silver medalist in the 10,000 m at the Goodwill games.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He has worked mostly in the running industry as a store manager and sales representative for both Adidas and Nike.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Trying to adapt to life as an amputee is Gerard’s primary focus. While currently in a wheelchair, he is in the beginning stages of being fitted for a prosthetic leg.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please help as you can, to smooth this transition and get him back on “his feet again” (pun intended).</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
