Gavin Ward a 17 year old La Jolla Band member became paralyzed as the result of a car accident in November 2005. He has been given the rare opportunity to walk again through a stem cell research surgery practiced in China. The life changing trip is scheduled for mid-July. The estimated cost for the surgery is over $50,000. Approximately, $25,000 will be used for the surgery and the remaining will cover the costs of two months of rehabilitation, Doctor's fees, travel and accommodations. To date the Musick/Ward family has raised $15,000.
