  • Saturday fundraiser set for William Douglas

    On June 23, a local man, William Douglas, was in a terrible motorcycle accident.
    Will spent his birthday, only a few short days after his accident, on June 27, in a coma and unaware of the many people who were there to support and celebrate him. Although Will has made it through the most critical stage, having survived several life-saving surgeries and begun physical therapy, he suffers from a fractured skull, brain injury, spinal fractures, broken ribs, and broken shoulder blade and eye socket among other injuries.
    Will has a long road of recovery ahead, and although he does have health insurance, the medical bills for additional surgeries, rehab and recovery will be substantial. Friends and family say he is a fighter, and are hopeful for a full recovery, living by the mantra “Where there’s a Will, there’s a way!”
    A fundraiser will be held this Saturday, July 15 at the Wakulla Community Center beginning at 11 a.m. There will be pulled pork sandwiches with sides and drinks.
    Any and all donations are appreciated, and will go to the family to cover Will’s medical expenses.
