Ricky Bannister, who worked with Heidelberg for 18 years, suffered a major spinal injury in April after a horse-riding accident. To help Ricky and his family Heidelberg is hosting a fundraising event on 20 August (see details at end).
Richard Timson, Heidelberg Australia and New Zealand managing director said: “Everyone was shocked when news of Ricky’s accident broke. Ricky is well known and liked throughout the industry and we are keen to do anything we can to support him and his family in this incredibly difficult time. The printing industry is fantastic at coming together to support its own and I am confident that the funds we raise will make a sound contribution to his ongoing care.”
Ricky suffered severe trauma to his spine and the current prognosis is that he will be a quadriplegic. Ricky and his wife Emily are expecting their first child in September. Please support this fundraiser and book your table now.
David “Kingy” King, former North Melbourne champion and Fox Footy commentator, will MC the event, Jordan Bannister – AFL umpire, former Carlton and Essendon player and Ricky’s brother, will be a special guest for the event.
