For those who don't know him, Trevor is an awesome 18-yr. old who had a freak gunshot accident in September 2009, paralyzing him from the chest down. He spent one month at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and is now at The Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia, receiving physical therapy. He is supposed to arrive home right before Thanksgiving. His humor and wit encourage everyone around him, and he inspires all who know him. This event will be a wonderful time for his family, friends, and the surrounding communities to show their love and support for him and his family.
