Help Blaine fight M.S.

Blaine is the son of Captain Jimmy Burrell of the Fort Myers Shores Fire Department. In March of 2010 Blaine was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis which is uncommon at a young age.  We are trying to raise money to help his family with the cost of treatment. There are trials in the US but but the procedures here are still at least 10 years away. He was accepted  into a procedure in Israel, that involves using his own stem cells to reset the immune system. The trial has an 80% success rate. He will be going in June and have to be there for 6-8 weeks. The cost for the procedure is $126,000 and isn't covered by insurance.  

The Fort Myers Shores Fire Department will be planning other fundraisers in the near future. Please, contact us for further info if you would like to help.
