CAMP FREDDY And HEAD CAT To Play Breast Cancer Benefit - Jan. 21, 2011
Legendary Whisky A Go Go, Roxy and Rainbow Bar & Grill founder and recovering cancer survivor Mario Maglieri is presenting a benefit event to create awareness and raise positive vibes in celebration of breast cancer survivor Carolyne Williams.
Carolyne Williams is a 27-year-old breast cancer warrior and advocate. After months of being told that her cancer was just a cyst or an infection, Carolyne discovered the worst: that she was diagnosed with malignant Cystosarcoma Phyllodes while having no health insurance from her part-time job. Cystosarcoma Phyllodes is a sarcoma, a very rare type of breast cancer that accounts for less than 1% of breast cancer diagnosis. Phyllodescurrently has no research or support for survivors from the bigger Breast Cancer Foundations, because of its rarity. Phyllodesis is made of connective tissue and blood that forms in the breast that does not respond to chemo or radiation. Sadly, many cases of breast cancer are currently being found in younger girls/women in their teens, 20s and 30s, and in many cases they are being misdiagnosed, as Carolyne was. There needs to be more awareness to this growing and sadly silent epidemic.
This benefit is to help raise awareness and spread hope in the darkness of cancer and its effects on families and friends of the infected. The benefit hopes to raise funds in order to help Carolyne with her disease. This unprecedented and special event will include appearances by CAMP FREDDY featuring Matt Sorum (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER), Billy Morrison (BILLY IDOL, THE CULT), Dave Navarro (JANE'S ADDICTION, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS), and is hosted by SUGAR RAY's Mark McGrath. Other monumental yet-to-be-named guests will be making appearances, so make sure to head out and support an incredible cause and witness amazing guest showings. The event will take place this Monday, January 24 at the Whiskey A Go Go in West Hollywood, CA. Performing at the event will be HEAD CAT featuring Lemmy Kilmister of MOTÖRHEAD, and DARLING STILETTOS.
