WELLINGTON: The Wellington and area community is rallying around one of its own with a benefit concert and auction to help 30-year-old Gavin Tristan and his family as he prepares for the fight of his life.
Born with a rare immune disorder known as X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), years of health complications have left Gavin with severe lung damage.
He now requires a life-saving double lung and bone marrow transplant in Pennsylvania.
As Gavin gets ready for the journey ahead, his wife has stepped away from work to care for him and their two young children, adding to the financial strain of mounting medical, travel and living expenses.

Organizers say everyone is welcome to attend, enjoy an afternoon of music and community, and help support Gavin and his family during this difficult time.
Every bid, donation and show of support will make a difference as they face the challenges ahead together
