A bride-to-be is on a mission to fly the medics who saved her fiancé’s life 5,000 miles across the Atlantic for their wedding. Helen Smith owes so much to a community in Mexico, she’s even determined to invite the taxi driver and hotel boss who helped her future husband Davy Duncan.
The deep sea diver, 60, was at death’s door after testing positive for Covid a week after arriving in Mexico for work last year. He had to be isolated on his dive ship for days due to the weather before a helicopter could get to a hospital on the mainland.
But, after a recovery, including two months in a Mexican hospital, Davy proposed to Helen back in Scotland to seal his incredible second chance at life. Helen, 51, had flown out from their home in Fort William to be with him after he fell ill on the ship and was given the worst news that he wasn’t expected to pull through from the deadly virus.
