Bryce, everybody wants to see you get better, you have your life ahead of you and a lot of talent. Don't get discouraged,  I came back after a year and a half to start feeling sensations in my toes  and later my legs from a broken back and hip, which left me paralyzed from the waist down. It took at least another few years to start surfing and training in Karate again. I was 28 when it happened and full of energy and worked my ass off in Physical Therapy when they said there was little hope. That's BS, there is always hope. Don't give up.

We're all here for you, the extended Family.

Oh piffle!  This is the norm.  After all, I remember some nutball offering a $600+ bow as an incentive for people to buy subscriptions to P.A. with no expectation of personal benefit.  Its what we do around here, RIGHT?

RIGHT, PEOPLE???
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Alright,  we are officially all wrapped up.

The final bid came in at 700 cdn from kind friend who took a workshop a few months back (thanks Todd!)
Upon hearing what we were doing my generous mother threw in a hundred bucks cash (thanks mom!)
and after talking it over with my wife (thanks Jenna!)  we decided to match the 700 for the stave,  because life has been so good to us.  So the final raised was 1500 cdn which converts to 1153 usd.

We just put proudly put it through on the fundraising site, so we trust it will help you out on your journey.

All the best,
Jamie & Jenna

That is a great thing you and your family done Jamie! I know you didn't do it to receive praise, but you deserve it .
