Travis Surch Fundraising Charity Lunch - Gold Coast Turf Club | Ocean Road Magazine

In 2014, when in his early 30's, Travis Surch had a workplace accident which required 7 surgeries - it caused a 65% whole body impairment and spinal cord fracture of C1-2, C4-5 and C 6-7,T1-T2.

Between 2020 and 2025 to date, he has endured 16 revision surgeries on his brain as well as cervical, thoracic, hips, shoulder, nerve repositioning elbow and hands, as well as SIJ lumbar surgeries.

Despite all of this, Travis remains committed and positive to his intense rehabbing, and despite knowing that life will never be “the same” as it was pre-accident, he sees glimmers of hope even in the darkest of places.

Crazily, NDIS has reduced his funding substantially, and all of his personal resources have been exhausted, including having to sell his home and all investments he had.

And now, as often happens in time of crisis, the best of humanity arises… his mates have banded together to put on some events and a GofundMe page to assist with his rehabilitation needs.
