Sixteen. That's the number of young lives that have been transformed in only three trips by a thriving collaboration between Duncan Tree Foundation, Medtronic, Biotronic, the Scoliosis Research Society and of course, you!
We are gearing up for our fourth trip to Jamaica to take place in November. This trip will aim to treat an additional 8 individuals giving them a renewed sense of hope for their futures. In addition, we are laying the ground work for expanding our program in a part of the island where access to scoliosis surgical care is currently unavailable. Finally, leading up to our next trip we will begin to enlist and coordinate the resources needed to train local spinal cord monitors and nurses.
These are exciting times! However, the fact is, these initiatives simply will not be possible without financial contribution. We need your help if we are to transport surgeons, technicians, support staff and implants to our sites in Jamaica. Our track record speaks for itself, our partners are ready and willing, our mission defined; your financial support is all we need. Donate today, join us in changing not only individual lives but a region's health care.
