Dinosaur Kingdom II in Natural Bridge will be conducting a fundraiser for EmmaGraceHartless,alocal 14-year-old who is suffering from multiple medical issues.
All of the attraction’s ticket sales this Saturday, Nov. 2, will go toward her medical expenses.
Among the medical issues facing Emma Grace is a large inoperable brain mass called Fibrous Dysplasia, that causes, among other side effects, head and ear pain, ringing in her ear, memory issues, pain and pressure behind her left eye and forehead.
She also has Vestibular Dysfunction, producing lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea and migraines daily. She also suffers from hypermobility in all her joints, causing her to have severe joint pain, and what’s called Snowy Vision Syndrome, which means she is essentially looking through a static TV screen at everything.
Dinosaur Kingdom II, located across from the Natural Bridge Zoo, will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ticket prices are $15 per child and $18 per adult, and tickets can be purchased on-site or online at www.dinosaurkingdom2. com.
