From email. Thanks Stu.
Gymnastics Canada and Gymnastics Ontario have finalized plans to launch a donation campaign beginning next week to help support injured gymnast Taylor Lindsay-Noel.Taylor, who suffered a spinal cord injury while training in the gymnasium at Seneca College in Toronto on July 15th, is undergoing rehabilitation at Bloorview Kids Rehab in Toronto.
The Gymnastics Canada-Gymnastics Ontario fund will help provide additional financial support for Taylor during her recovery.
“We wish Taylor and her family our best wishes at this difficult time,” says Jean-Paul Caron, President & CEO of Gymnastics Canada.
“The Canadian Gymnastics community, including her coaches and fellow gymnasts at Sport Seneca, is confident Taylor will show the same spirit and determination to meet the challenges ahead that she did as a gymnast.”
Information about the donation campaign will be posted on the Gymnastics Canada and Gymnatics Ontario web sites.
I assume Sport Seneca will be a partner, as well in this campaign.
I’ll post when the campaign goes live.
Thanks to all the people who have contacted me about this terrible accident.

I just heard about Lindsay-Noel on cbc this morning. I became a parapeligic due to a car accident when I was young. Now I study Traditional Chinese Medicine and have some information to share. My parents and doctors didn’t have any information about acupuncture or herbs so I was treated solely by western medicine (ie: rehab and physio). These methods are necessary but Traditional Chinese Medicine can offer more help. The needles can stimulate the qi and blood flow in the body, strengthening the muscles and keeping the body in communication with itself. I am not trying to convince her family to try it I just need to let them know that it can help. Young people are extremely good at healing and this is a modality that can help. I’ve heard time and time again that if I had recieved treatment soon after my injury it would be less severe. Please consider it.
(Can you please pass this info to her family)
I want to meet this girl and offer some financial suppport as well as emotional support. I can’t seem to find her.
Steve, click through to one of the Gymnastics association links in the post above.
They will direct you to her.
