The Real Elvis Spirit

[Elvislover76]

In the Monday edition of the newspaper 'Het Laatste Nieuws' in Belgium, the story of the 17 year old Michiel Stroobans was published.

Elvis fan Michiel was born half paralyzed and has a eye disease. The nerves in his eye does not get enough blood and oxygen and will stop functioning at some point. It's not possible to threat or heal this problem. In a while, Michiel will be completely blind. It's the dream of Michiel to see Graceland before he's not able to do it anymore. After reading this touching article, ElvisMatters contacted the Stroobans family with the news that Michiel and his dad can join the club trip in august without any cost.

The Belgian ElvisMatters is happy that they can go on with the tradition of Elvis who donated a lot for the good cause.

These past few days, we were almost bombarded with emails and letters from fans, who wish to support Michiel Stroobans (17). Michiel travels with us to Memphis next August. It'll be a very special trip for him, as doctors predict that he'll loose his sight by the end of the year. We already received the first financial support from fans, who wish to give Michiel some pocket money during his stay. Feel free to do so too, although this, of course, is not a necessity.
ElvisMatters has asked other fanclubs too, to support this good cause, so we can all, united in the spirit of Elvis, make this last trip to Graceland an unforgettable experience for Michiel.
