Six-year-old Tristan Sellwig, who had a near-drowning experience when he was three, his father, Paul, and the Acorn Foundation (NPO) are hosting a fundraiser for Tristan on 29 May at the Eagle Canyon Country Club at 8 am.
Tristan suffered brain trauma during the near-drowning incident on 9 November 2014. Due to Tristan being so young and receiving the correct rehabilitation and treatment, he is well on the way to reaching all the milestones a child his age should pass.
Some time ago, Tristan underwent a stem-cell transplant, which was performed by Dr Alok Sharma, in Mumbai, India. However, he needs to go back to India for another treatment.
