About this Event
Lorenzo Seaman is a rare case of Tibial Hemimelia. Where, in his case, the tibia, kneecaps, and ankles are missing in both legs. While there are varying degrees of severity of this condition, Lorenzo is the worst case possible - with statistics of only one in five million. Without the tibia, which is the larger, weight-bearing shinbone in the leg, Lorenzo won’t be able to stand or walk.
After being told by doctors in Canada that his only option was amputation, his parents Lenny and Lidia took matters into their own hands by researching and traveling for consultations with specialists around the world. The good news is they found and met with a doctor who can help, promising to not only save Lorenzo’s legs but also provide 90% function through a series of consecutive surgeries. The bad news is the doctor is located in Dubai, where they need to stay for over a year while Lorenzo undergoes these surgeries and constant physical therapy.
All in, the total cost of medical expense is approximately $1.5M. None of this is covered by insurance so it needs to be paid fully out of pocket, and in full before they will schedule any of the surgeries. Unfortunately, time is of the essence since successful treatment for this condition is precise based on age and growth.
Let's all come together for baby Lorenzo and help him walk!
General admission tickets are $50 and Youth under 15 years old are $15.
