Karing for Keeley Online Benefit Auction May 24 – May 27

In early April, 13-year-old Keeley Breslin, daughter of ApHC exhibitor Karen Breslin, sustained a traumatic brain injury, as a result of a golf cart accident, which left her family fearing she would never be able to speak, reason or walk again.  On that tragic day, Keeley’s future was looking very uncertain.

Since that time, Keeley has been making steady progress in her recovery, but she has a long, uphill battle ahead of her.  The Breslin family has been getting some wonderful support from the ApHC community, which has organized a special online auction on her behalf.  Family friend and fellow exhibitor, Nancy Magnussen, has helped to organize and promote the auction, which can be found on Facebook: Karing for Keeley Auction.
