Gretchen Beard

Family and friends of Gretchen Beard are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with her back injury. Gretchen has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live ibecause donations are tax deductible for contributors and will only be used to cover her back surgery and related medical expenses. She has chosen the Premia Spine, Total Orthotic Posterior Spine surgery. Fusion has been done sine the 1890’s and fails. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again expecting a different result. TOPS allows movement, has a shorter recovery time (8weeks as opposed to 1year) , and it saves money over time as more surgery is not needed! Please help Gretchen get back to living her best life. Before her injury she enjoyed walking long distances, hiking, biking, skiing, tennis, golfing and belly dancing. Supporting her now is so appreciated.
