Tanner McNelley's life changed forever on October 26th.

Sandpoint born and raised Tanner, was working on a job for the company he founded, when he became paralyzed after falling from a roof, and his life ...and that of his family... will never be the same.

Tanner's insurance will not begin to cover all the astronomical medical bills and equipment. or the costs of retrofitting the McNelley home, or a vehicle. His parents, Mike and Michelle McNelley have taught in the LPOSD for over 30 years, and will incur significant additional costs

(including travel & lodging) during Tanner's recovery and treatment.

He is a hard-working young man and an entrepreneur who grew up hunting, fly fishing, participating in 4-H and wrestling, and working as a junior instructor at Schweitzer Mountain. The McNelley's aren't asking for help, but several friends see the hard and incredibly expensive road to recovery facing this good family and are working (with their blessing) to help support them.
