Team Porter

Porter Brinton, 16 years old, is a sophomore in high school. He suffered a tragic accident while on vacation with his family in St. George today (April 26.) He sustained a severe spinal cord injury from diving into a pool. Porter was life flighted to a Las Vegas hospital where he is undergoing surgery. The Brinton family has asked for your prayers at this time, knowing that together, our faith can work miracles. The full impact is still unfolding but doctors are giving a high to possible probability for paralysis, so Porter will need extensive rehabilitation. The family will incur untold expenses from this accident—including ER visit, helicopter flight, major surgery, hospital stay, out-of-town family accommodations, wheelchair, therapies, etc.—so if you would like to help them out, anything would be appreciated.

Porter is the best. He is an amazing friend, brother, & son. He loves to play tennis & snow ski. Porter is a leader. So many people love him and look up to him. He is a friend to everyone. He is hilarious and can make anyone laugh.
