we have raised $2700 thus far on our way to $8,000 for my new Cochlear Ear Implant. This will change my life. I will be able to better communicate with everyone and it will allow me to further my training. I would like to tell everyone how I lost my hearing. When I was 18 months old, I was diagnosed with Spinal Meningitis and stayed at the hospital for 21 days. I was lucky to be alive. By age 3, I had lost my hearing which also effected my equilibrium. I had surgery to Implant my current Cochlear Ear which allowed me to communicate and improved my equilibrium. I had to relearn how to walk.

If anyone is interested in helping me raise money by making a donation, you can do so by mailing it to Lumberjack Feud, Bryce Smith Fund, PO BOX 459, Pigeon Forge, TN 37868. Thank you!
