A 10-year-old Minnesota girl who was injured by a slab of falling ice on Christmas Day is going to Disney World.

Allison Jeffords will receive a $5,000 travel voucher on Saturday to send her and her family to the theme park in Orlando.

Allison was playing among the ice heaves along the shore of Lake Minnewaska when her head was pinned underneath a slab of ice weighing hundreds of pounds.

The slabs were formed when the ice broke up, and were pushed onto the shoreline by wind and waves.

The Disney trip was the idea of Jim Palmer, of Glenwood, who heard about Allison's accident and started raising money for the trip.

Palmer said the Jeffords family told him they aren't sure when they'll be able to make the trip, but the Disney World vouchers don't have an expiration date.
