Billy's Story

Billy Neu was raised on the Hamilton Mountain. He attended St. Margaret Mary's and graduated from Sherwood Secondary School with Honours. Billy went on to pursue engineering at Western University and has just finished his third year. Whether it was academics or sports – Billy always excelled.

Billy is a great friend to many; is kind-hearted, easy going, all around great guy! Anyone who knows Billy, knows that he always has a smile on his face, along with a positive attitude towards life!

On June 4, 2010, Billy was involved in a life altering swimming pool accident. He suffered an extreme spinal cord injury that has left him as a paraplegic; he will never walk again. Billy remains hospitalized, currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment with the hope of coming home in early October.

To lessen the financial impact his family now faces, all proceeds raised from donations and community events will go towards the cost of renovating Billy's family home and vehicle; making them wheelchair accessible. It is also hoped that Billy will one day be able to return to school.

Billy and his family are truly grateful for the amazing outpour of love, support, and concern expressed by so many.

Thank You

Through our fundraising efforts, renovations to the family home were done and a wheelchair accessible van was purchased. Billy, who has undergone and continues to receive extensive rehabilitation, dreams one day he will be able to complete his 4th and final year of Engineering at University and move forward in his life.

In order to reach our goal and raise the funds necessary to help Billy and his family, we are turning to community minded individuals and organizations for their support. We are hosting a Golf Tournament on Saturday, August 6th at Knollwood Golf Club located on the Old Course at 1276 Shaver Road, Ancaster.

We hope you will join us as a player or as a sponsor for this worthwhile and fun day. If you are unable to golf, you may also choose to support our golf tournament through sponsorship, donating a promotional item for the player gift bags or a donation for the prize table.

If you are interested in supporting our tournament, please contact us via email at aneuhope@hotmail.com

On behalf of “A Neu Hope”, I would like to thank you for your consideration and your anticipated generosity, and look forward to hearing from you.
