Gray Bartlett, Jodi Vaughn and Brendan Dugan are performing in Tauranga to raise money for Diane Wilson.

Gray Bartlett, Jodi Vaughn and Brendan Dugan are performing in Tauranga to raise money for Diane Wilson.

Top Kiwi musicians are getting behind efforts to help a Tauranga woman who faces a long rehabilitation after a crash in Melbourne.

Gray Bartlett, Brendan Dugan, Chris Gunn, Tom Sharplin, Jodi Vaughn, Chet O'Connell and Shane Cortese have volunteered their services to perform at The Road To Recovery Fundraiser Concert at Baycourt Theatre to support Diane Wilson and her family.

Miss Wilson, 23, suffered a smashed pelvis, a broken neck and brain bleeds and was in a coma in Melbourne's Alfred Hospital for more than a week after the car she was driving was T-boned on August 31.

Miss Wilson was born with Crouzon's syndrome, which left the bones of her skull fused together, and had many surgeries to reshape her head between the ages of 1 and 17. She moved to Australia, where she works in a hotel, five years ago.

Tauranga musician Dugan is friends with Miss Wilson's father Craig Wilson, and decided to organise a concert to raise money to help the family fly back and forth to Australia and with rehabilitation costs.

Dugan said he hoped to raise about $20,000 for the family.

*Tickets are $49.95. Call Ticketek on 0800 842 538 or Baycourt on 07 577 7189.
