A fundraising drive is being held in Dryden to help a local resident.
40-year-old Dawn Archibald suffers from Ataxia, a neurological disease that leaves her with a severe lack of mobility, poor balance and muscle weakness.
Tammy Whelen and Ghada Ibrahim were guests on the CKDR Morning Show Wednesday to talk about Archibald and their fundraising goal.
The good friends are hoping to send her to Thailand for stem cell treatment that’s not available in Canada.
Their target is raising $28,000.
Ibrahim and Whelen both say Archibald is strong, energetic and is always positive and that’s why they wanted to help.
The treatment won’t cure Archibald but will help restore her quality of life.
Some of the events being held included a charity barbeque on June 20th, a Social as well as an online silent auction.
