After a crash during qualifying at this year's Isle of Man TT races, Boothy suffered significant and life-changing injuries. He badly broke both femurs, both tibs and fibs, plus numerous other fractures, but severely shattered his right leg and, unfortunately, the surgeons had no choice but to amputate just below the knee.
The NHS and staff in Liverpool have done an amazing job in getting Boothy to the point where he's now being readied for a transfer to a rehabilitation hospital closer to home, but it's still a very long road to recovery. We'd like to raise as much as possible in order to get the best possible treatment and technologies for a smoother and faster return to normal life.
