Undergraduate student Drew Cumpson, hotel and food administration, has started an online fundraising campaign to help cover medical expenses resulting from a swimming accident that occurred when he was volunteering in Peru in May 2011.

In April 2012, Cumpson spoke to At Guelph about the accident, which paralyzed him from the neck down. For an update on his progress and information about the online fundraising campaign, visit https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-drew-breathe.
