St. Brigid’s clubman Keith Fox was involved in a skiing accident in January and suffered a serious spinal cord injury, affecting his mobility. While he undergoes rehabilitation to regain movement in his legs, he has shown strength and determination. He continues to be positive and is an inspiration to us all. He is currently in the National Rehabilitation Hospital, Dun Laoghaire, working hard every day on his recovery. The road ahead will no doubt be long and challenging.
Keith is a devoted husband to his wife Christine and a loving father to his two daughters who are all involved in St. Brigid’s. He is a son, an older brother and also a great friend, someone we can all look up to. Keith and his family are now facing this life changing situation together.
As Keith works towards the goal of returning home, significant changes will need to be undertaken to make his home accessible. This will include adapting his living space for wheelchair use, installing essential supports, and ensuring he can move around independently. There will also be ongoing costs for specialist equipment, care and further rehabilitation, which are vital to assist in his recovery.
The GoFundMe has been set up by friends to help ease the financial burden on Keith and his family so they can focus fully on his recovery.
Keith and Christine are incredibly proud and didn't want to have to ask people for help with regards to adapting their house, however the grant from the council will only cover a small portion of the refurbishment cost.
Any contribution no matter how small will have an immediate and hugely positive effect on Keiths daily life and that of his family.
Keith and his family really appreciate all of the kindness and support that friends, family and all corners of the community have shown over the past few months.
Thank you for your generosity.
We will also be holding a 4 person team golf classic on the 11th September 2026 in Westmanstown Golf Club between 10am - 4:30pm, followed by a social evening at St Brigids GAA Club, Navan Road, Dublin 15 for family, friends and colleagues.
