About

Ryan Elson is a 28 year old carpenter from Wantage, Oxfordshire, UK. On 30/07/12 he was involved in a motorcycle accident in Koh Lanta, Thailand and sustained severe head injuries. He was not covered by insurance and his family are facing medical bills which have amounted to £27,907.28. This website has been set-up to inform people of his progress & raise awareness but more importantly to raise money to cover his medical expenses.

Raising4Ryan is not a registered charity, we are a group of loving friends & family who are fundraising on behalf of Ryan Elson & his family. All proceeds will go directly to them to pay for ongoing medical costs.

Our Progress

Ryan is now back in the UK and continues to receive medical treatment. Thank you for your continued support
