Heather has a disease called Familial Spastic Paraplegia.
This causes her to wear braces on both of her legs. She needs new braces. There is no medical insurance. She also needs to have some genetic testing done. The braces will cost $1,565.00, plus the fees for office calls, fittings, and adjustments. The genetic testing will cost approximately $7,000. Music will be provided by the Cattle Bandits, Anjanel Folkens and Ground Level. Please come out to support a wonderful cause and you're sure to have a fantastic time!
