With Liverpool fan Sean Cox is still being rehabilitated following an attack by Roma fan's during the build up to Liverpool's match against Roma last April, his local GAA club St Peter's Dunboyne have announced great plans in order to fund Cox's continued rehabilitation.
A Facebook page has been set up to spread the word about Cox's situation, with a recent in a post detailing the challenges Cox faces as he continues to recover from the attack:
As you are aware, our colleague and friend Sean Cox sustained serious and life altering injuries earlier this year while attending a football game in Liverpool.
The level of solidarity from so many from our community and beyond for Sean, Martina, Jack, Shauna and Emma since this tragic incident has been overwhelming and is deeply appreciated by Sean’s family.
Over the past number of months Sean has been taking small but important steps on a road to recovery. His journey will be a long and difficult one and the focus will continue on ensuring the best possible care to maximise the potential in Sean’s recovery.
Sean has recently commenced a program of rehabilitation in Dun Laoghaire and following this will continue to require ongoing and intensive long term care and support.
The reality is that the provision of this long term care and support for Sean will necessitate significant funding over many years.
Sean, through his involvement in our community and beyond, has worked tirelessly to contribute to and enhance our community. We are determined to support Sean in every way we can so we are pleased to confirm the launch of a fund raising campaign in support of Sean's recovery – ‘Support Sean’
A 'Run for Sean' is also being organised in Dunboyne on October 29th with other events are due to take place locally and nationally to raise money for the 53-year-old.
