For 35 years, Brian Borg, now 49 years old, has been paralysed from a devastating T7-T8 spinal cord injury after diving in Malta. He needs to undergo a medical emergency requiring urgent surgery.

Borg currently lacks the support network needed to navigate this challenge, for which Stephanie Chircop and John Xuereb from Bodies in Motion Ltd have stepped up. For the last six years, Borg’s life has been confined to his wheelchair 24/7.

“Brian’s resilience after 35 years of struggle is inspiring, but he can’t do this alone. Picture the despair of waking to pain every day, sores marking your body, struggles to do normal bodily functions, your bed a wheelchair. Now imagine the hope of breaking free, less pain, some mobility, a life with dignity. Your donation can make that real,” wrote Xuereb in a statement.

Xuereb went on to write how “Your gift brings Brian closer to freedom. €5 might cover a meal, €20 an hour of care, €50 a step toward surgery. Sharing this page spreads his story, touching more hearts. Together, we can lift Brian from despair to hope, help him heal, and give him a custom wheelchair to finally sleep in a bed. At 49, he deserves a chance to live, not just survive.”
