Jaggar Bartholomew, son of former World Champ and Tracks Ambassador Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, is currently bed ridden in a Gold Hospital, after being diagnosed with a rare condition known as Nervus Intermedius Neuralgia which is causing ‘lightning-like attacks’ of pain down his left side.
A Go Fund Me campaign has been set up by Luke Altschwager to cover ‘essential living costs and significant medical expenses, including a long convalescence and rehabilitation.’
Here’s what Luke wrote as part of the fundraiser:
“Jaggar Bartholomew, son of the world-renowned Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, is facing the toughest battle of his life.
“Diagnosed with the extremely rare condition Nervus Intermedius Neuralgia, which cruelly features excruciating pain 24/7. All nerves on the left side of his skull, neck, jaw, and vertebrae torture Jaggar with lightning-like attacks stabbing in all different directions throughout his body. Jaggar has been left completely debilitated over the past seven weeks. For the last month, he has been admitted full-time to the Gold Coast Hospital, where he is under the expert care of the Acute Pain Team and Neurology, who are working tirelessly to manage his condition and provide some relief from the unrelenting pain.
“In addition to this rare condition, Jaggar is grappling with severe fatigue, the emotional toll of chronic pain, and the challenges of being completely bedridden. Once a vibrant and active individual, his fight to regain some semblance of normal life will require incredible strength, determination, and extensive support.
“The funds raised will help cover essential living costs and significant medical expenses, including a long convalescence and rehabilitation. These funds will be securely held and managed through The Club at Parkwood Village accounts, ensuring every dollar goes directly toward supporting Jaggar in this critical time.
“Your support can make a world of difference for Jaggar and his family. Please join us in helping him through this fight for his life.
“Every donation counts, no matter how small. Let’s rally together for Jagga.”
With everyone’s help we pray that Jaggar can make a full recovery. Anyone wishing to donate can do so by clicking here.
