Mackenzie Hurt

Mackenzie is a vibrant, sassy and fun loving 16 year old living with a rare form of muscular dystrophy. She has been non-ambulatory since birth. Mackenzie would like to learn how to drive. Because of her disability, driving schools here in the valley will not accept her as a student. Adaptive driving schools are available- but they are very expensive. An adaptive driver assessment is $450, after that it is $150 per hour with a minimum required 30 hours of training. Almost $5000 to ensure Mackenzie can safely drive on the road!

Mackenzie is an active member and representative of the Arizona MDA. She is a member of her school’s National Honor Society, and volunteers her time after school to help clean the campus and tutor other students. Mackenzie ended her sophomore year with a weighted 4.1 GPA and as president of her schools Amnesty club. Donations to Help Hope Live in Mackenzie’s honor will help her fund driving school. No amount is too small to help! Please share her campaign with friends and family. Thank you so much for your support!
