… And hopefully this government will also do the same for the seriously injured footballer who also needs financial help for his full recovery; and who made an appeal for help in recent times.
This story needed some serious editing. The same information was given at least three times.
Marsh has a history in drag racing and some of his achievements could have been used to flesh out the story.
It is a very sad thing to have happened to the young man but those things happen in that sport. Maybe it is time that the drag racing community get together to create a synergy with Insurance companies and a policy be worked out that each member can be covered in the event of catastrophies of this kind. Just me thinking out loud. I have no linkage to any Insurance company. My disclaimer.
To Marsh and his family, I hope and pray that he recovers. May God grant you all strength as you face this battle.
