I recently lost a great friend of mine due to cancer. He was born with a heart problem. This developed into heart cancer due to a heart murmur passed down from his mother. Ricky may be dead, but since his death we have raised over £2,000 for Cancer Research UK by doing gigs in his honour. He loved Rock Music, and this is what he'd want us to do. He suffered for 6 months before eventualy passing away, but in that 6 months, thanks to Cancer Research he got to meet his Rock heroes before he died.
Along the way, we met Van Halen. Since then we've been asked to join them on tour in the US in 2008 which I can't wait for :D
Anyway, please donate whatever you can to Cancer Research UK. Help find a cure for one of the biggest killers.
Don't let this story affect you, think of the lives you could save.
Thank you.

R.I.P Ricky Jones

Even though your friend is gone, he'll still be there in spirit :)

Good luck with the money raising, and I'm sure he'd absolutely love to see your band perform in the US on tour :D.

Keep up the good work. :)

I set up a Direct Debit with them for £5 a month.

Friend died too. Testicular cancer. He didn't mind.
