Midhi Brock on TV tonight

A documentary about Mihdi Brock, the Bermudian boy suffering from curvature of the spine, will air on VSB tonight at 8 p.m.

The Mission for Mihdi chronicles the struggles in sustaining Mihdi's life and celebrates the progress he's made over the years.

Six years ago it was thought Mihdi might not live to reach his next birthday.

Now he is seven. Thanks to the generous contributions of Bermudians and a gruelling daily schedule of daily treatments, physical and herbal therapies he is thriving in as close to normal a fashion as possible for him.

The show will air again on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Contributions can be made to The Mihdi Joon Fund (Bermuda Registered Charity #547) at PO Box HM 1987, Hamilton, HM HX. For more information, view his website at www.thelotus.com
