RECOVERY: Casey Newton MORE than £60,000 has been raised for a Whitefield woman who suffered life-changing injuries in a horrific mountain bike crash. Yoga teacher Casey Newton was cycling with friends in Cornwall, where she now lives, earlier this month, when she fell from her mountain bike. The 30-year-old’s injuries were so severe she had to be airlifted to Plymouth’s Derriford Hospital where she underwent six hours of emergency surgery. But doctors have told her the damage to her spinal nerves is so serious she may never walk again, leaving Casey terrified about her future job prospects and life with boyfriend Jay.
