Colin's Road to Recovery | Fargo News

Colin Bales, a dedicated Air National Guard member and physical therapist, suffered a life-altering spinal cord injury while diving at his family’s lake home—prompting an emergency airlift to Fargo and now a race against time for recovery. With rehab costs soaring between $500K and $1M, his family has launched a community-driven benefit fund, accepting donations online or by check to Amy Bales. The community’s response is overwhelming: a silent auction from August 24–28, hosted by Lend A Hand Up, features luxury trips, golf packages, gift cards, and more—all bidding to raise critical funds. Local businesses, friends, and neighbors are rallying behind Colin, proving that his resilience and impact are inspiring an outpouring of support as he begins his long, uncertain journey to healing.
