Jonny Walker Medical Fund
Every August, my nephew, Jonny Walker spends all of his time in the mountains doing what he loves most; hiking, hunting, and communing with nature. Being a true sportsman, Jon has shared his passion of the outdoors and of bow hunting with anyone who wanted to learn. His dream job has always been that of a hunting guide where he could share his love of the outdoors with those who wanted to learn the sport. On Monday, September 6th, Jon's dream turned into a nightmare as he was riding his 4-wheeler back to camp at dark. As he approached a blind turn he struck a cow standing in the middle of the road. Jon was thrown off of this ATV suffering severe injuries to his head and neck, including a cracked skull. His father, Tyson Walker, was called from camp where he started emergency response medicine. He was soon joined by two EMTs. A trauma nurse from Layton also happened upon the scene. Jon was life flighted to UVRMC where he remains in a medically induced coma with brain bleeds.
Life is just beginning for this amazing kid and now he has an incredibly difficult road to recovery. As a family we are simply in shock and are doing whatever we can to support Jon, his parents Tyson & Carissa Walker, and sister Kady. The medical bills are increasing each day and with the Covid restrictions Tyson and Carissa are the only two that can stay with Jon in ICU. If one of them leaves, they have to wait 24 hours before they can get back in. We are doing whatever we can to assist the family and make Jons road to recovery as smooth as possible. If you have some spare change or are willing to donate to Jons medical fund, it would be most appreciated. Our family lives by the motto "What we can't to alone, we can do together" Relieving the financial burden this event brings, will help the most right now. We want to thank everyone for their love and support during this incredibly difficult time for our family. If you want to make a direct donation to Jon it can be also be sent to Tyson Walker on Vemno @Tyson-Walker-19. Thank you so much!
