And now at £764,000. The severity of his injuries have made people donate so much I think.

£838,617 now.

There has also been an update by John Gale, whose fund stands at £26,676


Hello folks.Just a quick update to say thankyou for such a wonderful response to the fundraiser. As a result of the initial response we were able to gain national press and exceed the original goal by an incredible margin. The funds will remain in place with Gofundme until they can be sent directly to the recipient, as planned.Thanks again,John

Hi Folks,

Just a final reminder to say thankyou so much for such an incredible response to the fundraiser. We have received confirmation from the solicitors that they have received the funds from GoFundMe, and Ken at Patterdale MRT has written to us on behalf of Chris and his family to express their gratitude and admiration for your generosity. You can also see mention of this via the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Facebook page.

If anyone has any further questions I can be reached via this email. In the meantime we cross our fingers and wish Chris the best possible outcome during the coming years.

Take Care out there folks.

All the very best x


John Gale, Organiser

Hello folks,


I just happened on this thread and had a read through the comments.


 I'm John Gale, the chap involved in raising money for MRT's injured volunteer. Just wanted to say thanks for the comments and the measured responses. I am that same chap from the search engines and it's refreshing to see a measured response.


Does anyone know how Chris is doing these days?

Yes, welcome to the forum John, and well done - I think many on here contributed to either your appeal or directly - it was a story which resonated.
