Jake Thibeault has the whole city behind him.
During a tournament on Labor Day Weekend, Jake broke two vertebrae after colliding with an opponent.
According to WCVB, the 18-year-old Milton Academy student is currently paralyzed from the waist down.
Jake is determined to walk again. This Fitchburg kid is a fighter, and has the support of the community behind him.
Over the weekend, a fundraiser was held raising money for Jake's medical bills at Lawn on D. Seaport Strong organized the event and it was a huge success!
Jake also got a little visit from Boston Bruins star, Matt Grzelcyk.
If you want to donate to Jake's recovery, his GoFunMe can be found here.
