Winter was featured on “The Doctors” this afternoon. Visit http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/show_synopsis/411?section=synopsis to see the segment on Winter, Montel and Andrew.
CMA recently hosted a special meeting between former talk show host Montel Williams, Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics patient Andrew Hall and Winter the dolphin. The encounter was filmed by the nationally syndicated talk show, “The Doctors,” and aired Monday, March 1. Locally, the piece aired at 3 p.m. on WFLA News Channel 8. Montel Williams hosts a segment on the show called “Living Well with Montel.”
Andrew Hall, 20, is a Safety Harbor resident who was critically injured last year after a drunk driver struck him while he was standing on a sidewalk. Hall struggled to survive and lost his left leg as a result of the accident. He also suffers from Cerebral Palsy and spent several years learning how to walk. Doctors at Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics, who also make Winter the dolphin’s prosthetic tails, will be donating a prosthetic leg for Hall.
Meeting a dolphin is one of the items on a list Hall made of things he wants to do before he dies. Thanks to CMA and “The Doctors” TV show, that dream came true and Hall was able to get in the water with Winter and learn more about her story of survival. Both Hall and Winter have a lot in common.
The Safety Harbor firefighters who rescued Hall are trying to raise $35,000 to purchase a handicap-accessible van for Andrew and are planning several fundraising events to reach this goal. The Safety Harbor Professional Firefighters will be the benefactor of the 3rd Friday Music Series March 19, from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. A street festival is also being planned for Saturday, April 10 and a golf tournament will take place at the Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club in June. If you would like to make a donation, please make checks out to the “Safety Harbor Professional Firefighters” and put “Andrew Hall Van Donation” in the memo line. Donations can be dropped off at or mailed to Safety Harbor City Hall at 750 Main St. – Safety Harbor, FL 34695.
