The family of badly injured State Police Lt. Donald Bossi of Saugus is getting some much-needed help from the fund-raising efforts of Boston radio personality Greg Hill. Hill, who has raised more than $10 million in donations through The Greg Hill Foundation he began in 2010 has already raised $63,359 to surpass a $10,000 goal it set in a campaign it labeled “Standing Strong with Lt. Donny Bossi: A Call to Support His Family.” Lt. Bossi, a 34-year veteran of law enforcement, was critically injured in the line of duty last month after a teenager on a stolen motorcycle drove over him in front of the State Police Barracks in Revere.

“Donny was thrown 45 feet, sustaining a 360° pelvic break, facial injuries, and head lacerations. He’s already undergone one surgery and faces more this week, with a long road ahead of at least three months where he won’t be able to put any weight on his feet,” noted a post on The Greg Hill Foundation website.

“While he’s thankfully in stable condition, the impact on Donny and his beloved family is immense,” the post continued.

“The Greg Hill Foundation is committed to supporting the Bossi Family in their time of need. We will be matching all donations up to $5,000.
