The donation will significantly benefit the NHS Western Isles Occupational Therapy service, aiding patients in their rehabilitation journeys. The funds were raised through a community fundraising event hosted by Luc's band, Preoccupied, at Laxdale Hall on 29th August.
Luc, who is 16 years old, was diagnosed with a stroke caused by a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) after becoming unwell during band practice. Following successful surgery to repair the PFO, he is recovering well.
As a gesture of gratitude for the care and support he received, Luc and his family organised the event. The fundraiser was a resounding success, collecting a total of £7,152.11.
Sonja Smit, Occupational Therapy Services Manager/AHP Mental Health Lead at NHS Western Isles, expressed her gratitude: “We are incredibly grateful to Luc for his generous donation and for choosing to support Occupational Therapy through his fundraising efforts. This donation will help us continue to support patients on their own rehabilitation journeys.”
