Story

Alyson was vacationing in Ft. Lauderdale and went on a yacht Saturday, October 2, 2021 with her cousin and some friends. Not long into the trip, she took a step backwards and fell down 7 stairs, landing at the bottom on her back.  She broke her C6 and has had 2 surgeries to repair it and the torn ligaments around it. 

Alyson has been working extremely hard to regain full functioning of her legs with the ultimate goal of walking again. She is currently at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago receiving intense therapies. She will head to a day rehab facility soon.

Alyson is currently up to wiggling two toes on her right foot, working on pinching with her right hand, and standing from a sitting position with her walker. She is working hard each day to prepare for her return home to Nashville by practicing daily living skills and routines. She spends most of her days in therapies including riding a stationary bike and walking on the treadmill. 

Please wALk with Al by sharing her story, praying for a full recovery and strength to continue on during the difficult days, and/or making a purchase or cash donation through Alyson's CAUSETEAM fundraising page.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 for Alyson to help keep up with the cost of her regular living expenses, as well as any medical expenses that she will continue to have for many months to come. Most of all, our goal is to share her story and ask for prayer. She is a fighter and we are all walking with her!
