My son Scott asked me to put up this information about a class mate he has known for several years. Her name is Meredith Selvidge, and she is an 8th grader at Burk Middle School.
She's about to embark on a trip to help repair her spinal cord. Meredith uses a wheelchair due to a spinal injury.
She is raising funds so that she can travel to Baku Azerbaijan. Step one involves taking bone marrow from her hip and seperating out her own stem cells, These cells will grow for 4 or 5 days
and then the doctor will make a small incision and inject the cells with a special needle into the original injury site between two vertebrae. The ultimate goal is that the will repair the damage to her spine and help her gain all or some mobility.
To help raise funds for her you can purchase a T-shirt for $10. by clicking on this link.

Thanks for helping Meredith!
Lets also pray for her safe travels and a speedy recovery.
