James Mace - Ruptured ACL (unable to work)
Donation protected
Having recently made his 400th appearance for Leamington FC, James Mace has had the devastating news that he has ruptured his Medial and Anterior Cruciate Ligaments (ACL) .
There is always the initial disappointment of sustaining such an injury but when it results in loss of earnings and a huge medical bill, as players we feel we must do what we can to help.
James works as a tree surgeon and his injury has meant he cannot work. His insurance company will pay a small sum each month, but not enough to sustain his young family and there would be no contribution to surgery costs.
Colby Bishop and Connor Gudger have recently had similar operations, costing between £6k and £9k.
This GoFundMe page has been set up after players and fans have all asked how they can contribute to help James. We hope that this platform will allow those that want to donate to help fund the surgery.
We are of course mindful of the current impact Coronavirus is having on society and us all. We ask that you please donate only if you are able and must emphasise that once the funds have been raised we will of course follow NHS guidelines regarding elective surgeries to not put a further strain on the NHS.
Thank you all in advance and keep safe, we hope to see you all down at the Club when we are able to reopen.
