Smith family to travel to Minnesota in August Continued from page 10 Smiths, you can send an e -transfer to answersforcolton@outlook.com or search for Colton's Medical Fund: Mayo Clinic on gofundme.com. Jamie, who has been a member of the Blyth Lions Club for a number of years, says that the family has also set up a special bank account for all of the donated funds in an effort to be as transparent as possible. He said the family wants people to know where the money they're donating is going and what it's being used for. In addition, he said that if more Obituaries money is donated than is needed for Colton's fight to diagnose his condition, any remaining funds will be donated back into the community, perhaps to the Lions Club to be re- distributed to community initiatives, causes and projects. The family is due at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota on Aug. 7. Look for future issues of The Citizen to follow their journey, or if Colton receives a diagnosis, listen carefully for cheers of joy from Joanne that week, as she anticipates those in Blyth will be able to hear her all the way from Minnesota.
