Dad left paralysed after slipping on ice - just weeks after getting cancer all-clear

A father-of-two was left paralysed from slipping on ice just weeks after beating cancer.

Neil Tracey, 59, was walking home after the England World Cup game on Saturday, December 10, when he slipped on ice while the country was experiencing unusual freezing temperatures for that time of year. As a result of the accident, he was left paralysed with no ability to move any part of his body.

He will remain in hospital for three months while undergoing rehabilitation. The self-employed mechanic is also unable to work due to the severe accident, so, his niece Rachel Selby, 27, has set-up a GoFundMe to raise money to help her uncle cover bills while he stays in hospital, Yorkshire Live reports.
