Get behind Beau Vernon's fundraiser

LISTEN: Beau's Father, former AFL player Darryl Vernon wants compulsory paraplegic and quadriplegic insurance coverage for footballers

23 year old Leongatha Football Club Vice Captain Beau Vernon was recently injured in a tragic on-field collision. He has suffered a crushed spinal cord and damage to his C5 and C6 vertebrae, which has left him a quadriplegic.

It is expected Beau’s hospital fees, along with carers, equipment and aid for his lifetime will exceed $3.2 million. The family hope to receive between $150,000 - $200,000 in insurance, leaving them far short of the funds they desperately need. But even this is not guaranteed.

The AFL community has come together in a show of solidarity to help raise much needed funds for Beau and his family. This includes donating to an online auction and helping to support a fundraising dinner.

We encourage you to bid in the online auction on a number of money can’t buy experiences or to register your interest in securing a table at the fundraising dinner on Thursday 30^th in the ME Bank Centre at The Richmond Football Club’.
