Dozens gathered at Newmachar Golf Club on Friday with the aim of raising over £20,000 for their St Fergus colleague who may never walk again.
During the summer of 2024, Calvin Cheyne had surgery for Chiari Malformation which is a bulge in the back of the brain that puts pressure on the spinal cord.
The surgery, at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, went well. But, in recovery, the Oceaneering ROV pilot choked on a piece of toast which entered his lungs and caused him to collapse.
The St Fergus dad was rushed to intensive care where he was placed in a medically induced coma. An MRI scan later revealed part of his spinal cord and brain stem have been permanently damaged and he may never walk again.
Around 100 people took part in Friday’s event with numerous companies helping out with prizes and donations.
