£5,000 raised for Coventry beautician’s recovery after balcony fall in Thailand

Around £5,000 was raised at a rave event to aid the recovery of a Coventry beautician who fell 60ft from a balcony while on holiday in Thailand. Maddi Neale-Shankster suffered severe injuries in the fall and had to undergo surgery before being flown back home to the UK.

Her family raised £73,500 to cover the costs to fly her home after initially setting a target of £100,000 and she arrived back home three weeks ago. However, she is expected to have to undergo a lengthy rehabilitation process.

To help Maddi and her family cover the costs during her recovery, Coventry’s club promoters and the HMV Empire joined up to put on Rave for Maddi. The event was organised to further support Maddi and her family during the crucial rehabilitation stage, and help towards her living costs until she is hopefully able to walk again and return to work.
