"Faith For Fern" ... give an hour of hope. BizBOXTV Calgary Fundraiser Video

BizBOXTV.com produced and donated this video towards the 'Faith For Fern' fundraising effort.

For the last six years, Faith Wood has watched her twin sister, Fern, waste away with a debilitating disease called RSD. Essentially, Fern's pain receptors are set permanently at maximum. Fern has undergone one painful, intrusive treatment after another many of which had side effects almost as bad as the disease itself. Nothing has worked, and Fern feels she is running out of hope. She and her husband have gone bankrupt paying for treatments, therapies and medications. Her family has watched, helpless, as she turned from an energetic, joyful mother of three, to a frightened, pain-wracked invalid.

But there is one last hope. Fern has been recommended for an experimental treatment in Mexico. The Ketamine Coma Trial is extremely dangerous, and very expensive, but its the only chance she has left to get her life back.

"Faith for Fern" has to raise $75,000 in 90 days and is asking for your help!

I have RSD and my heart goes out to Fern and her family. My family does do the dance around me and it hurts to watch them watch me suffer. I pray that a miarcle comes your way and that you will share the results with the world. Best of luck.
