UPDATE: I was told these links aren't working (For some reason they are going through myspace instead of to the sites) If you type in the addresses, it'll go though.
I am friends with a guy that I've known over 10 years now. He was in a band with my oldest brother and we went to the same college. He's now in a new band called "The Myriad" and one of the members could use some help. Repost this as much as you can! I cannot even imagine what this family is going through and how scared he must be!
Letter from the band:
Some of you may have heard, our drummer Randy Miller had a large tumor removed from his shoulder/chest area a few weeks ago which proved cancerous. Initial results indicate Chondrosarcoma (cancer of the bone) and a PET Scan today revealed suspicious spots around the surgical area, his left arm, adrenal gland and pelvis. Chondrosarcoma is very rare and for that reason treatment is necessary at special facilities. He has been referred to Stanford to determine the best course of action. The unfortunate thing is Randy cannot talk with the specialist or even schedule an appointment until the state determines if he is qualified for medi-cal. It appears it could takes weeks or longer before he finds out if he is qualified. We'll keep you updated as soon as we know more.
There are immediate and ongoing financial needs for the Miller family. The support that has come in over the past few weeks has been amazing and we would like to thank everyone for all they are doing. Our friends in Third Day just announced they will be holding a benefit concert for Randy on Sunday, December 7th at Friends Church in Yorba Linda, CA.
Tickets go on sale 11/21 at www. transparentproductions. com.
