Darbi is a charismatic, athletic 22 year old who became tragically ill with Guillian Barre Syndrome, a rare disorder in which your immune system attacks your nerves. 4 months ago, Darbi was an avid athlete and student, then her life got put on hold as she quickly deteriorated and became completely paralyzed.
She is making great strides in improvement, and she has a goal: to make it to the FIFA Women's World Cup Final on July 5 2015 in Vancouver. We've had an extremely generous offer from Medivan to supply specialized stretcher transport, but we still need to transport her specialized wheelchair from Victoria to Vancouver. It will be an extremely long and exhausting day for someone in Darbi's condition, so while this is a great option, an opportunity to fly would make it that much easier for her.
We appreciate any support for this courageous young woman. Thank you for your time
