Join the fight
This blog is the official homepage for The Benny Dunn Benefit, a group of supporters helping to fund the medical treatment for Benny Dunn. He has recently been placed on the liver transplant list through UAB in Birmingham, AL. Your donations will make his transplant and future immunosuppressive therapy possible. Join the fight today!

# 1
Benny is # 1 on the transplant list. He got a call yesterday from the doctor telling him that they had a liver but it was a high risk one. Nothing showed up on the test they did on the liver but something could show up later. Benny turned it down so he is still # 1. I was in Montgomery with my Dad at Baptist South Hospital when Benny got the call. The nurses talked to the doctor and they released him so we could get home. So now we are just waiting for the call. Thanks for your prayers and please continue them.
#4
We moved back up to # 4 this week. Anna at UAB said they did a lot of transplants last week. Also, the fair will be here another week. The place where the James Gang was going to next week canceled, so they are just going to stay here. We have really enjoyed seeing everyone out there

Still # 6
We are still # 6 on the list, but we are packed and ready. There is going to be a fair in the parking lot beside the Crow's Nest here in Andalusia from April 19th to the 23rd. The times on Tuesday thru Friday will be 6:00 until 10:00, and on Saturday 3:00 until 10:00. Part of the proceeds the Crows Nest makes is going to be donated to the Benny Dunn Benefit Fund. So we are inviting you to come join the fun.

We are # 6
We have moved down to # 6. Every month the people on the liver transplant list has blood work done to see what their meld score is. That is the score they get from your blood work that tells you how much the liver is functioning. When you get in the top 5, the person in the worst shape gets the liver. So, it could be a long wait even tho they have told us to have our bags packed and in the car. The benefit fund response has been wonderful. We can not tell you how much this means to us. We appreciate it so much. Thanks for your continued prayers.
