Vancouver Island Community Working To Help Injured Victoria Primary Care Paramedic

The community is rallying behind a first responder who has spent a lot of time himself helping Island residents.

Greg Stubbs is a Primary Care Paramedic in Victoria who has spent a lot of time on the road as a rider with the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, fighting to end childhood cancer.

His most important role though, according to friends, is being Dad to his three kids.

Last month, Stubbs was involved in a serious collision while riding home from work and sustained significant injuries that will require multiple surgeries that will keep him off work for some time.

As the collision happened on a trail and did not involve a vehicle, there is no coverage through ICBC. Friends have set up a Go Fund Me page with a goal of raising $20,000 and at the time of this writing, it’s up near $30,000.

The post on the Go Fund me page says the money will be used to offset the cost of uncovered oral surgeries, for healthy meals, and to supplement the wages that Stubb will lose while he is off recovering.
