£3,035.00raised of £1,000.00 goal goal
John can't tell you how grateful he is for your support.
But he will soon - with your help...
In 2015, John McDougall suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak at will. Fortunately, he still has excellent mobility and is responding well to speech therapy.
Weekly speech therapy treatments are expensive and despite some good progress, John still can't write code and develop systems in the way he used to for BMW, UBS, BT and Old Mutual - to name a few of his clients. But John's ambition is to be back working within the next 12 months...
So we're raising more money to accelerate John's rehabilitation. In our first appeal for help, fellow GoGetFund'ers pulled together almost £2,500 in less than 3 months - thank you so much!
Now we'd like to raise another £1,000 to pay for 20-30 more individual therapy sessions. Please spread the word.
Thank you.

Whilst working with John at BT he was always exactly as you described him, upbeat, kind, always helpful to his colleagues and yes full of long and wonderful words! Great campaign to get John talking again.
