many of you may remember me talking about a good friend i have here in california, who i have quite literally known for 13 years. when i moved here, he and his wife were the only two people i knew (aside from the cousins, of course), and they extended their friendship and love to me, most notably during the period after which i lost cyra.brandon, at age 31, and within a month of my arrival, was diagnosed with germ cell cancer, and during the following months i was awed by his humility and his gratitude as he received treatment for the disease. he is now, thankfully, cancer free, and in recognition of the support he received during that difficult time, has shouldered the daunting task of creating, hosting, and performing at a concert to benefit the make-a-wish foundation.
the concert will be held on sunday, september 14th. for you non-mormon readers in the area, i highly encourage you to attend. for you mormon readers in the area, i'll leave it to your conscience as it is a sunday event. for my part, i will be on-hand to support someone who i am blessed to have in my life again, and who has provided a great deal of service to me.
if you are out of the area and can't attend, but are interested in supporting in a financial way (no pressure, but i'd be remiss if i didn't at least extend the opportunity), please contact brandon directly and tell him i sent you. tickets for the event are only $10, so obviously, large donations not expected:)
