Montgomery County Firefighter’s Pipes & Drums fundraising efforts
Facebook: Keep Scott Doyle in your thoughts …
Since Mother’s Day Scott Doyle has been in a coma in a Boise, Idaho hospital with a brain injury. Fellow firefighters in Montgomery County have begun efforts to raise money to bring the 34-year-old Doyle home once he is stable enough to be moved.
Scott Doyle was injured while enjoying one of his passions during a vacation with his wife, Steph. The veteran skydiving instructor hit his head against a canyon wall while BASE jumping.
Cousin Frank Snodgrass says Doyle’s regular health insurance will not pay for the air ambulance that will be needed to bring the firefighter to a medical facility in the Washington area. The flight could cost as much as $30,000.
Firefighters, who have already donated their time to cover Doyle’s shifts for three months, are now working to raise the money. Doyle is a piper with Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Pipes & Drums. The group has scheduled a fundraiser at a location to be announced in Frederick County on May 29.
A Facebook page called “Keep Scott Doyle In Your Thoughts” has also been started to help in the efforts to raise money.
Bring the brother back home guys.
Come on Scott, the Lumpy Team is here for you and Steph…wake up and come back to us!
Wake Up Scott!
