More help needed as funding appeal to help injured EWC rider Gino Rea gets huge response

The funding appeal launched by Gino Rea’s family to help in his ongoing rehabilitation after he suffered serious head injuries during a crash practicing for round three of the FIM Endurance World Championship at Suzuka last month, has received a huge response – but more help is needed. While almost £50,000 has been raised through donations from fans, riders and other well-wishers, the amount is considerably short of the initial target of £125,000, which has been set by the family of the F.C.C. TSR Honda France rider through a GoFundMe online appeal.Follow this link to help Gino Rea:https://www.gofundme.com/f/gino-rea-rehabilitation?utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer #KeepFightingGino: A family’s appeal for help In a GoFundMe appeal launch earlier this month, a post from Shannon Rea reveals Gino Rea’s plight.

“Gino sustained catastrophic life-changing injuries when he came off his motorcycle and collided with the crash barriers at Suzuka. “Gino was unresponsive and fell into a coma. He was immediately transported by air ambulance to Mie Prefectural General Medical Centre.

The news was then broken to his family that he was in a life-threatening condition. The team at Mie Prefectural established that Gino had severe swelling and bleeding in the brain. They decided it was best to keep him in a coma to prevent further swelling and reduce his soaring temperature.

The next 48 hours were critical for Gino. “As the hours slipped by, family and friends anxiously waited for an update on Gino’s condition. We were told that Gino had suffered a traumatic brain injury.
