Why we are coming together

Supporting Andy and his family.

is a COMMUNITY fundraising event to support one local dad and his family. Andy Mayers suffered a stroke which left him unable to speak and affected his mobility. This is our chance as a community to get Andy his freedom back and give him a voice.
