Dad paralysed after slipping on ice weeks after cancer all-clear

A man who was given the cancer all-clear just weeks ago has been paralysed after slipping on ice while walking home. Dad-of-two Neil Tracey was walking home after the England World Cup game on Saturday, December 10, when he slipped.

The 59-year-old has been left paralysed with no ability to move any part of his body, just weeks after overcoming cancer. He will remain in hospital for three months where he will be in rehabilitation, reports YorkshireLive.

The self-employed mechanic from Doncaster has been left unable to work due to the accident. Neil's niece, Rachel Selby, 37, has now set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her uncle to help cover bills while he remains in hospital.
