In October 18 year old Troy Mackinlay was severely burnt in a Shildon house fire suffering 3rd and 4th degree burns to his body. The young man who is bandaged head to foot with multi organ failure has friends and relatives in Newton Aycliffe who are raising cash. Troy has already undergone 13 hours in surgery and faces more including skin grafts to his mutilated body. He will probably be in hospital for a year at least- he cannot speak – and his biggest risk is infection. The family need cash to rebuild their home and cover travelling expenses to be at Troy’s side and fundraising activities have included raffles and events. Planet Leisure is the venue for a Fun Day on 19th November 10am – 2,30pm. There will be a Tombola and raffle plus bric-a-brac.
