Sydney: So, there’s this guy, Cathal Canavan, who took a nasty fall while cliff diving at Bronte Beach on Christmas Day. He’s an Irish expat, just 24 years old, and now he’s in intensive care.
Apparently, he was jumping into an ocean pool when he slipped and hit the concrete. It’s pretty serious, and he’s currently in an induced coma at St Vincent’s Hospital.
His friends and family have set up a donation page, and it’s raised over $130,000 to help with his medical bills. That’s a lot of support from back home!
His family describes him as fiercely loyal and always there for his friends. They’re really worried right now, especially since they got the call from the hospital on Christmas Day. It’s just heartbreaking.
His aunt mentioned that they don’t know how bad the brain damage is yet, which is really tough to hear. Everyone’s hoping for the best, but it’s a long road ahead.
Sports clubs from his hometown in Ireland are sharing the fundraiser, showing just how much he’s loved. It’s a rough time, but the community is rallying around him.
The fall happened during a beach party, where a ton of people were celebrating the holiday. It’s such a tragic turn of events for what should have been a fun day.
