The workers at the Kaleidoscope Nursery elected to go skydiving for Headway, after a relative of one of their team had received a brain injury at the age of five. The child, Max Brimble, had been kicked by a horse back in 2001.
The accident occurred in the vicinity of Dorchester. Initially, Max Brimble had to be transported via air ambulance to a hospital in the neighbourhood. However, the injury he had suffered was so severe that he was transported to a hospital in Southampton.
At the hospital in Southampton, doctors feared that they could do little for Max Brimble, after an operation had not gone the way they wished. The parents of the patient were actually instructed that the life support machine would be switched off. However, the boy made a remarkable recovery, although he still requires a lot of care.
If Kaleidoscope Nursery staff want to do a bit more for their chosen charity, Headway, they could use full colour printing in Southampton (Hedge End) to help with their publicity.
Chantelle Matts, nursery manager, has told the Western Gazette that:
“Lana and her family, particularly her mum, have fought all the way to help Max through a difficult journey. But families like Max’s cannot do it alone.”
