The Stuart Mangan Appeal
Comments(2)
Stuart Mangan is 25 years old.
He was educated at St. Colman’s School Fermoy and Rockwell College Tipperary.
He also completed five years of university studies, graduating with a Law Degree from UCC and a Masters in European Business from ESC Paris, before he was hired on a fixed term contract on the trading floor of BNP Paribas in London.
Stuart was a rugby player. His love of rugby, however, has changed his life.
He suffered a devastating spinal injury while playing on the 5th of April 2008.
Stuart is paralysed from the neck down.
He will need specialist 24-hour care for the rest of his life.
I’m writing this post to highlight his cause. I would encourage you to read his story on the website set up to highlight this cause.
I’m also writing this post in tribute to Stuart, a man who can still smile and face his future with courage.
If you are in a position to help you’ll find ways of doing so here.
My Elly played Rugby and it scared the life out of me!
Stuart is a fine young man.
MY BROTHER WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A RUGBY ACCIDENT IN FEBRUARY 1980 AND DIED IN DECEMBER 2007 AFTER SPENDING 27 YEARS IN A WHEELCHAIR. HE LIVED LIFE TO THE FULL EVEN WITH HIS DISABILITY AND ALWAYS HAD A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE AND KEPT A GREAT INTEREST IN THE GAME OF RUGBY. HIS PASSING HAS LEFT A HUGE VOID IN OUR LIVES AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET HIM.
