Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I am reaching out to ask for your help and support for my dear friends Tim and Rachel Wigren. Their son, Tanner Wigren, is currently in the ICU after suffering a sudden brain bleed on Saturday morning. Tanner is surrounded by dedicated medical professionals, doing everything they can to give him the best outcome possible. Tim and Rachel are at his side to support him through this difficult time.

The sudden and terrifying medical emergency happened while Tim and Tanner were out of state at a horse show. Tanner was taken by ambulance to the hospital and underwent surgery to control the bleeding. He now faces a second surgery on Tuesday with a neurosurgeon who specializes in cases such as Tanner's. The days ahead are critical, and the road to recovery is unknown.

Tanner is not just a son and wonderful friend, but he is known to be a big brother and mentor to many of the youth riders within the Command Performance family. Whether helping a child with their ride or offering encouragement at a show, his kindness, patience, and leadership have reached many lives. He is looked up to by many, and now, it's our turn to be there for him and his family.

Right now, Tim and Rachel are solely focused on being by their son’s side, but with the mountain of medical bills, travel costs, and meals/accommodations being far from home, they need our help to ease some of the stress so they can fully focus and support their son through this life-threatening ordeal.

We are raising funds to help cover:

Emergency medical expenses, surgeries, and rehabilitation

Lost wages

Travel expenses

Support for his road to recovery

Every little bit helps, and if you are not in the position to donate, please help by sharing this post. Any help means the world. Please keep Tanner and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult journey.

On behalf of Tim, Rachel, and Tanner, thank you for all your love and support.

Janelle Willis
