A group of fine young men, from Darien, Connecticut, came together in mid-March, to show their support for a little girl named Grace Wohlberg, a 5th Grader from their home town. Grace had just undergone a right hemispherectomy, for Rasmussen's Encephalitis, and her brother Michael and coach Rob Trifone, of the Blue Wave football team, and the entire community of Darien came together to make a difference. And boy did they make a difference! In two days, they raised over $18,000 for The Hemispherectomy Foundation! The event, "Lifting Grace", was a lift-a-thon where athletes request people to sponsor them per pound. Each athlete makes three lifts, and then adds up the total weight of each lift. Each Athlete will lift almost 1000 pounds and some MORE! These young men lifted lots of metal, but also lifted the Wohlbergs and many children all over the world who have undergone hemispherectomy brain surgery. Well Done Gentlemen.  It is young men like this, and communities like Darien, Connecticut, that allow The Hemispherectomy Foundation to support our mission of helping children all over the world who are facing, or who have faced, hemispherectomy brain surgery.
This AMAZING community wasn't finished, however, and the Darien High School girls and boys swim and dive teams held "Swim for Grace," a co-ed swim and dive meet to raise money for the "Friends for Grace Foundation." This foundation supports organizations like The Hemispherectomy Foundation, that sponsors research into Rasmussen's Encephalitis.
WAY TO GO DARIEN ! ! !
