Benefit Scheduled for Narberth Stroke Survivor
The cost of treatment has devastated his family financially. Here's how you can help.
The Narberth community is hosting a fundraiser on Saturday, June 22 at St. Margaret’s School to help defray the medical expenses of a local stroke survivor.
According to NarbNet, the weekly newsletter of Narberth mayor Tom Grady, Narberth resident Tom Rymal, 51, suffered a stroke on January 27, 2013.
After more than three weeks in the Neuro Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (NCICU) of Bryn Mawr Hospital and a stay at Good Shepherd Penn Partners, Rymal developed a complication in early April. He was admitted to Penn’s ICU, then sent back to Good Shepherd Penn Partners, before being transferred to Magee Rehab Center.

The stroke, and the resulting complications, have been financially devastating for Rymal's family, and so a group of neighbors have organized to help offset the costs.
The event at St. Margaret’s will run from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. and will feature a buffet dinner, DJ, baskets, and a silent auction of items donated by a variety of local businesses.
