Die 18-jarige Edwin Nelson is dankbaar dat hy leef. Al moes albei sy bene onder die knie geamputeer word na die motorongeluk op die Parys/Potchefstroom-pad (53), is hy positief oor die toekoms, berig Wouter Pienaar vir die Potchefstroom Herald.

Edwin het op skool onder meer in hokkie uitgeblink en was verlede naweek in Potchefstroom vir die Gimmie-Volkie Classic Clash. Die ongeluk het gebeur toe hy op pad was na sy huis in Vaalpark.

Daar is intussen ‘n fonds gestig om met sy mediese onkostes, terapie en prostese te help en is Edwin en sy familie baie dankbaar vir almal wat hom sedert die ongeluk ondersteun het.

Bankbesonderhede vir Edwin Nelson se fonds is as volg:
