Glen Campbell is trying to raise £1,500
A taxi driver from the UK says he doesn't know if he will return to the Isle of Man following an incident involving his 12-year-old son during the TT.
Glen Campbell was riding on the Mountain Road with his son Charlie when another rider allegedly clipped them sending them sliding on the road.
"I can't tell you anything about this, other than thinking when will I stop sliding once stopped I looked up, and I was in the middle of the road (cars and bikes likely approaching at speeds up to 200mph.
"I tried to sit up and couldn't, too much pain...I shouted Charlie and got no response! You can imagine my panic!"
A passing couple had stopped and assisted the pair while they waited to be taken to Noble's Hospital for further assessment.
Fortunately, they only suffered relatively minor injuries but he says he is worried about his son's mental health.
"We spent 2 days in our hotel room, no bike, no swimming, no beach, nothing, trip ruined."
He has setup a GoFundMe to raise £1500 in hopes he can treat Charlie to a better holiday.
"The trip wasn't cheap, and we lost that. Now im back home, and as I am a self employed taxi driver, I am having to work, in so much pain, as I have a car to pay for among the usual bills etc.
"I really am worried that Charlie has mental scars from this, he was having the time of his life for one day, then this.
"I am asking for help to raise funds to take Charlie, and his lovely brother alfie on holiday. Holidays aren't cheap, and i also lose money by not working, but i really should be taking time to rest also."
