Boy injured in mowing accident to host fundraiser

METAMORA — Archer Granger, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ 2011 Michigan State Champion, will be hosting a fundraiser to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) and Hurley Children’s Hospital.

The event is Feb. 24 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at the Metamora BP in Metamora (on M24 North of Dryden Road). For a minimum $1 donation, there is a choice of a hot cup of coffee or cocoa and a delicious baked good. There will also be CMNH rubber bracelets for $1, and a “Miracle Maker” instant prize drawing.

Proceeds from this fundraiser go straight to CMNH at Hurley, so all the money we make here, stays here, helping kids in our community! This event is being held in conjunction with the 102.5 WIOG “Cares for Kids” Radiothon, which will air on Feb. 23-24, and also benefits CMNH at Hurley.

R & R Double Take, local country artists, will be performing from 12-1 p.m. Richard and Robert Fay are supporters of CMNH.

In August, 2009, Archer Granger was run over by an industrial zero-turn lawnmower. He was airlifted to Hurley Medical Center, where he was treated for serious, life-threatening injuries to his legs and feet.

Today, Archer is a happy, healthy 7-year-old that runs and jumps like any other boy … on his own two feet. — G.G.
