The Scottish actor has donated £2,000 to Charlie Allan, who has performed in battle scenes in major Hollywood productions, to help pay for surgery after a horror fall.
Outlander star Sam Heughan has generously donated £2,000 towards a fundraiser for a Scots Hollywood stuntman to help pay for surgery after he suffered a horror leg injury.
Explaining the events leading up to the horror injury, he said: "I was working at home building my gym and I was building access in to the gym and was between the banking and the access – because it is two storey – there’s a 15-foot drop and as I stepped off the platform, my left leg buckled under me.He tore ligaments in his knee, causing it to swell dramatically. To try and alleviate his pain, Charlie took some anti-inflammatory painkillers.
However, whilst at a country fair near Drumlanrig, Dumfries and Galloway, around five days after the accident, he was pushing 16-month-old son Bran in his pram when his calf seized up. It was there he was told that he had “come in three days too late” to treat it. Medics there had hoped to operate on Charlie, but just 24-hours later they had a change of heart.
Charlie’s wife, Chara, then began researching on the internet and she discovered surgeons abroad who can perform a procedure, not available via the NHS, known as a Endovascular Thrombectomy – that would involve inserting of a catheter into an artery and guiding it up through the blood vessels to the site of the blocked artery.“I can’t even run after my wee boy,” Charlie added.
