Help Tanner with his stem cell treatment in Panama
My name is Brad Jepson and I am starting this Go Fund Me for a good friend Tanner Arbuthnot. Tanner was hit by a car when he was on his motorcycle and was paralyzed. He also lost one of his legs and was told he would never walk or drive again.
Throughout the years, even with metal fusing his spine together Tanner has proved every doctor wrong and has showed everybody that he will never give up. Tanner has not only learned to walk and drive again, but RACE! Tanner enjoys racing his car and bringing joy to others at every event he goes to. He also gives others rides in his car, giving many others an experience they could never have elsewhere.
Doing all these things has come at a cost. Tanner's spine now has 5 bulged discs, 2 vertebrae with stress fractures, arthritis growths and a broken bone putting pressure on his spinal cord. Tanner's only hope to repair his body is stem cell treatment/surgery. Due to the risks involved Tanner has to have this treatment/surgery performed out of the country in Panama, and has to stay there for almost 2 weeks. During this time Tanner will not be able to work his normal job and will incur expenses totaling $29,700. **The treatment dates are August 15-28 2021**
I would like to help Tanner and hope that everybody else that has experienced his joyful personality would help as well. Tanner would never ask for anything, so let's help Tanner!
