Mongol Rally 2019 for Pádraig
Donation protected
Eugene, the Irish Skibob Champion 2018, and Pete, King of the Mountain Zell am See 2019, are participating in the Mongol Rally 2019, according to the organisers "motoring stupidity on a global scale", to help raise urgently needed funds for the neuro-rehabilitation of Pádraig Schaler in Dublin (Ireland).
Pádraig Schäler (also known as Patrick, Paddy, 'Schaler', and Big P!) was knocked off his bicycle as he cycled to work on Cape Cod on Thursday, 27 June 2013, at 10am. He remained in a coma for a long time. He had just finished his undergraduate studies in Trinity College and had planned to spend the summer on a J1 working visa in the US while considering which of his many plans for the future he should pursue.
After a few weeks in Cape Cod Hospital, his family brought him home to Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital. Four months later, they decided to move him to a dedicated early neuro-rehab facility in Hamburg, Germany.
The family have had to cover very significant expenses since the accident happened. His air ambulance flight to Germany alone cost 12,000 euro and had to be paid for by them. Now, weekly therapy cost run into the hundreds of euro. Necessary intensive therapy sessions abroad cost thousands of euro. The total cost of his rehabilitation for the remainder of his life have been independently estimated to be millions of euro.
