News/Announcements / Gibbo, Community Support
Last post by Chaosphere - October 12, 2025, 03:14:29 AMHello all,
If you haven't yet had a read of the posts over in 'Seriously Though' relating to Gibbo's recent tough time, go and have a look now ->
https://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?topic=46145.0
We have decided to chip in as a community to show some love to the bloke, and so are organising a fundraiser to chip in for some gifts for him.
These will no doubt include some vouchers for JustEat (food is one of his current loves) and perhaps some other entertainment related bits and pieces.
To give, please donate directly to either the dMw Bank Account, or the PayPal.
Bank account is preferable, as PayPal take a (small) piece of any donations.
Account Name
Dead Men Walking
Bank
Lloyds TSB
Account Number
01489500
Sort Code
30-99-77
https://www.paypal.com/pool/9j5Ll3Svj7?sr=wccr
If you give via the bank account, please just pop 'Gibbo' as the reference.
We will aim to leave donations open for the next 3 weeks (until 2/11/25 inclusive), when we will aim to purchase the goodies with whatever funds we have gathered.
I'll keep this thread updated every so often with info on donations, and what we end up getting him at the end.
Cheers!

Last post by Jewelz^ - October 02, 2025, 07:25:51 PMHi guys,
It's been a little while since my last post, so I wanted to share another update on Gibbo's progress.
The big news is that he's now officially out of ICU, a huge milestone after everything he's been through. He's eating proper food again, drinking what he likes (within reason!), he's had his trachy removed, which means he's finally speaking unaided again. Hearing his voice properly for the first time in a while has been amazing.
Gibbo has now moved to Canterbury Hospital, which is about 15 miles from home. They've got a more specialised physio team there, which is the next important step in his recovery. Now that he's "out of the woods" in terms of survival, he's had a full assessment from the physios, and the results are tough to hear, but at least we now have clarity.
He's been diagnosed with a complete C5 spinal injury. That means he has full control of his head, neck, and shoulders, He has biceps, but no triceps which means limited arm movement. He has slight wrist movement but no use of his fingers, everything from the chest down is paralysed.
Right now, he's waiting in Canterbury for a place to open up at Stoke Mandeville, where the spinal injury specialists are. That's where the real long-term rehab journey will begin.
Despite all this, Gibbo continues to show incredible spirit. When I visited on Monday, he was out of the hospital gown and in actual clothes, it felt like a small but powerful bit of normality returning. He was also in a reclined chair and is gradually building up to sitting more upright, though there are still issues with his blood pressure when he sits up for too long. It's slow going, but it's steady progress.
Somehow, through everything, Gibbo remains his usual cheeky self, full of banter, winding up the nurses and doctors, and keeping spirits high. Genuinely inspiring to see.
