Hey divers!
Matt Johnson suffers from Duchenne's Disease, a degenerative muscular disorder, which has paralyzed him from the neck down and requires the use of a ventilator for breathing. His dream is to scuba dive and he is working with a number of organizations to develop the special gear needed to dive at depth. Matt has a fundraiser scheduled at the Aquarium at the Mall of America on February 18th from 2pm to 6pm. John Chatterton (of Shadow Divers) and Susan Long (Pres/CEO of DUI) will be speakers at the event, along with aquarium tours and a silent auction. Please consider buying tickets for an exciting time with fellow divers and support a great cause for an incredibly enthusiastic individual. You can go to Matt's web site at for more information. Also, if you are able, please consider a donation to the silent auction.
