A CAMPAIGN to help Warrnambools Bryn Murfett recover from a severe spinal injury has captured the communitys heart.

In just over four months it has raised $50,000 for rehabilitation equipment for Bryn, who was paralysed after a road accident in Thailand last year.

His family now hopes stem cell treatment could get Bryn walking again.

The 4Byrn Appeal will hold a large auction next month to raise another $50,000.

His brother Rohan Murfett has helped chair the appeal and says its supporters have been humbled by the help thats come forward.

Already donations have been enough for a wheelchair, a special rehabilitation bike and modifications around the house.

The accident left Bryn with incomplete paraplegia and uncontrolled spasms in his legs, meaning messages are still being relayed through his spinal cord and giving his family some hope he can recover. Were now looking at overseas stem cell treatment for Bryn. Were hoping that it will aid him in his ability to walk again, Rohan said.
