Fundraiser for father-of-four from Cork after catastrophic stroke

Philip Scott, from Midleton, Co Cork, a former captain of Dolphin Rugby Club, was left with reduced vision, loss of movement in his right arm and leg, temporary memory loss, and an inability to speak or understand language in the wake of the stroke last January.
He was not expected to survive but defied the odds and made an unlikely return to his family in Midleton late last year after spending six months at Cork University Hospital and four months at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dublin.
