An MP has backed a campaign to help bring an injured woman back home.

Holly Ann Schofield, from Hove, is recovering from serious injuries she suffered when she was hit by a speedboat while swimming off the coast of Rhodes last month.

Relatives launched a fundraising campaign for £30,000 to pay for the 49-year-old’s medical costs and to fly her back home.

Local MP Mike Weatherley has now backed the campaign and is calling on his constituents to help in any way they can. A fundraising auction will be held this Wednesday at The Brunswick. For more information visit www.facebook.com/helpforholly.
