Mark Brown has spent several months in hospital in Hayle and Truro after a serious road traffic accident.

The terrible car crash left Mark badly injured.

He is currently undergoing several operations and hydrotherapy, so he can hopefully regain use of his legs.

Mark tells his story on BBC Radio Cornwall

Mark called Laurence Reed's Lunchtime Phone In on BBC Radio Cornwall hoping to get a lap top computer.

He wants to write about his experiences in hospital which he hopes will help other patients in the future.

"I've had so much time on my hands since the car crash," says Mark.

"It can be a scarey experience being a patient and I want to produce a leaflet which will help people know what to expect when they go into hospital."

A listener to BBC Radio Cornwall heard Mark's appeal.

The man, known only as Simon, was on his way back from a holiday in the county and decided he wanted to help.

Once he returned to his home in the South East, Simon generously donated a laptop and printer to help Mark in his bid to produce the patients leaflet.
