A Night For Bradyn

Bradyn Hopper is 5 years old and over a year ago was diagnosed with a very rare mutation of Arachnoid Cysts. That in combination with a condition called Hydrocephalus were slowly doing neurological damage to his brain and intervention was sought. After a year of local testing and procedures he was referred to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN in January of this year. After multiple life-altering brain surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy, things were finally looking up for him. Recently during a follow up appointment, the formation of more cysts were found around his brain stem and it appears further intervention may be needed. With his physical condition beginning to deteriorate again,and the uncertainty of future prognosis, we have decided to give him a night he will never forget.

Bradyn has always had three passions in his life. The outdoors, music, and helping everyone he possibly can. On the night of August 16th we are scheduled to have Minneapolis based musical artists Old Desert Road and Small Town Anthem travel in to play music for a night at the Goss Opera House in Watertown.

The will also be a silent auction and other fun stuff to be announced. The purpose of the event is to help to give back to Brayden an experience that will stick with him the rest of his life as well as help to off set some of the financial burden suffered by the Hopper family relative to his frequent trips to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It will be a great night of music, and more for a fantastic cause.
