Lyndsay and David Eidse of Niverville are planning a fundraiser to cover the costs of an upcoming surgery for their eight-year-old son Tyrrel, who has cerebral palsy. Tyrrel requires a wheelchair to get around, and he experiences a lot of pain in his legs.
“We have exhausted every option possible here in Canada for helping our son with his pain management and releasing the spasticity in his legs and hips,” the Eidses say. “We have found a surgery offered in Texas that will achieve this for him.”
The surgery, called SPML (selective percutaneous myofascial lengthening), is minimally invasive and offers the best result with the smallest amount of scar tissue. However, because they must travel to Texas, the Eidses need to raise $30,000.
The fundraiser will take place on Saturday, May 28, at Ashgrove Acres at 7:00 p.m. The Craig and Ash Band, a celebrated Winnipeg-based country music act, will be performing.
Individual tickets are available for $20, as well as table sponsorship for $150.
