 San Diego, CA. (www.dreamfactoryinc.com) - San Diego radio stations, corporate sponsors and families all pitched in to help raise funds for The Dream Factory and Patrick Ivison, an 11 year old San Diego boy. Patrick was accidentally hit by a car when he was only 14 months old and has been confined to a wheel chair ever since. BUT, he wants to learn to walk. The Dream Factory recently granted Patrick his first month's tuition at Project Walk in Carlsbad Ca. Even though his mom Jennifer knew that the three year tuition (over $90,000 and none of it covered by insurance)was going to be tough, a grass roots campaign was started by her with garage sales and other local fundraisers. People from all over the world have now seen Patrick's story in the San Diego Tribune, CBS-TV National News and at www.helppatrickwalk.org The Bowling for Dreams fundraiser was attended by Scott & BR from the Mighty 1090, The San Diego Gulls Hockey players and AJ from AJ's Playhouse on Channel 933. Patrick's progress after only 10 months can be seen at www.projectwalk.org For information on The Dream Factory,a national non profit dream granting organization,please check out www.dreamfactoryinc.com
