Garrett Tanner
HelpHOPELive Southwest Spinal Cord Injury Fund
Family and friends of Garrett Tanner are raising money to pay for uninsured medical expenses associated with his spinal cord injury. Garrett sustained this injury during a gymnastics accident in November 2007. Garrett lives in Mesa, AZ and was treated at the Barrows Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. He aspires to receive specialized therapies at Project Walk in Carlsbad, CA.
Garrett has chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive Catastrophic Injury Fund in part because HelpHOPELive provides both tax-deductibility and fiscal accountability to his contributors. Contributors can be sure that funds contributed will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.

Hi Garrett,
My son did gymnastics at Arizona Olympians from 5-15 years old and he did the same flip that you did more than once. I remember hearing about your accident after it happened and thinking about how easily it could have happened to my son or any of his friends. I've thought of you often over the years and hope that you can achieve all of your goals. Your hard work and good attitude is an inspiration.

Garrett, saw your page and just had to say hi since we live in the same city. My daughter Jessica Larsen was injuried in November 2008.
