A fundraiser to help a Brit who plunged from his hotel balcony in Marbella has almost reached its £25,000 target.
Harry Watts, 24, has been fighting for his life since his fall at the Hard Rock Hotel at the end of May.
In the few days after the terrible accident, his friend launched a GoFundMe page to help pay for his care.
It has been overwhelmed with donations and has now raised more than £22,000.
Upon launching the page, Harry’s friend wrote: ‘I wish I wasn’t writing this but I’m reaching out because one of my closest friends has been in a horrific freak accident while on holiday in Marbella and is now fighting for his life.
‘He fell from a hotel balcony and is now in an induced coma with life threatening injuries – bleed on the brain, multiple broken bones all over his body’s and severe internal damage.
‘He’s already had a few big surgeries, and had a lot more ahead of him before he’s out of it all.
‘His family have dropped everything, rushed out there to be by his side as their world has fell apart. They haven’t left the hospital.
‘They’re sitting there, day and night hoping and praying for Harry’s health as we all are.’
They added: ‘I’m running a the Rasselbock marathon in Nottingham on 13th of July to help raise money for Harry, his treatment, care and recovery.
‘If you can spare anything, it would honestly mean the world. Every penny will go directly to him and his future needs. Please donate if you’re able and share this around.’
