11-year-old boy from Van Dyne who has quite literally been given his life back thanks to recent experimental brain surgery at American Family Medical Center in Madison.Four years ago Jonah (known as Twitchy to family and friends) began suffering from uncontrollable shaking which made it impossible for him to sit through classes at school, services at church or any of what we consider "normal" childhood activities. He was diagnosed with a rare form of Tourette's Syndrome and the answer, at least for now, is deep brain stimulation. He's hooked up to a rechargeable battery that keeps the involuntary muscle movements to a minimum. Thankfully he's doing well but more surgeries will be needed and the Hinds family's insurance company refuses to pay for them.
That's why The Rick and Len Show and some great volunteers are conducting a benefit raffle for Jonah. We have compiled an extensive list of cool prizes, including one-of-a-kind autographed Ted Nugent items, cool electronic gizmos, retail gift cards, prize baskets and more. The prize list is growing daily. Check out a few highlights below.
The prize drawing will be held October 15, 2010 and winning numbers will be posted on this website (www.rickandlen.com).
Buy your tickets easily and securely through PayPal by simply clicking on the DONATE button below. Your donation amount will determine how many raffle ticket numbers we will assign. Your numbers will be sent to you via the email address you use when you donate.
