Bethany suffers from severe migraines and lupus. She has suffered
three strokes, has been left blind in one eye and is currently
undergoing speech and physical therapy.
A portion of the expenses Bethany and her family are burdened with is
travel to Rockford, where she is seeing a specialist in the hopes of
finding some way of preventing another stroke and controlling the
severe migraines.
Bethany's grandparents are Gabe and Sandy Birk of Lincoln. Sandy is
the owner and operator of the Mirror Image salon behind the Glass House
Tavern.
The event will run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.. Plans for the day include auctions, bake sales, food,
kids' activities, a DJ and a band.
