Our friends knew that we wanted to try Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy but that the cost was prohibitive. Some of them got together and decided to help us by holding a fundraiser for Tommy. Carol, Cathy, Sherry, called Kari and I one day down to It’s a Grind and they had a plan to raise money. Through their tremendous generosity, time and effort as of February 11, they raised $3,209.00.
We had a barbeque on February 9th for those who bought tickets, a raffle with some great prizes and just a plain old good time with friends and family. Steve cooked all day and Elliot helped with everything, as usual! There were about 100 people who came. I will be posting pictures shortly. Also, keep checking this blog as it chronicles Tommy’s progress with this new therapy and other news.
Very Special Thanks too:
