Thread: Bring Martin Home

Please Help Martin's Cause

Imagine what it would be like to be unable to move or to communicate with your family and friends. Martin went from a family, sport and fun loving father … to a mute shell; overnight. He went to sleep whole and woke up living a surreal nightmare.

Martin Kane (Kano) is originally from Springburn in Glasgow, but now lives in Perth, Australia, with his wife and two children. Last November, Kano suffered a sudden attack of Devic’s Syndrome, an extremely rare neurological condition, which has left him very severely disabled.

Kano has now been in an Oz hospital for over ten months and our objective is to bring him home for Christmas 2009.

In a show of unprecedented solidarity, Celtic supporters and friends of Celtic worldwide are actively raising funds necessary to adapt his home to allow Martin to come home to his family in Oz and watch his beloved Hoops once again on TV.

Work has started on converting Martin and Carolyn's house in readiness for his homecoming.

To date the global fund has raised around £37k and are well on the way to reaching our target of £50k

BUT we still need your help if we are to get Martin home for Christmas. He spent last Christmas in hospital; we do not want this repeated this year.

Please watch the video of Martn and read his story to see how fragile a meaningful life can be.

By making a donation to our cause and telling others Martins' story you are helping bring Martin that one step closer to home.

The more people made aware of Martins' plight, the better our chances of getting him home quicker.

Please help us to help Martin

If you think you can get a shirt then they are having a special night in which it could probably be auctioned

Let this guy know - Gordon is his name info@bringingmartinhome.com

Fuck me man, shocking story. Hope he can get home, well done everyone involved.
