Benefit at Mohawk Place

I received the following in an e-mail from Michele Buono of the Missing Planes (an excellent Buffalo band) on a benefit show at Mohawk Place, 47 East Mohawk Street, Buffalo, slated for Saturday, February 3. If you have the time, this would be a great way to help the Robbins family and enjoy some good music.

Callum Robbins, the son of J. (Jawbox/Burning Airlines/Channels) and Janet (Channels) Robbins, was recently diagnosed with Type 1 SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). The disease affects the brain's ability to communicate with the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, breathing, and swallowing. Despite years of work on its treatment and "ongoing promising research," it has no cure.

When dealing with something like this, the last thing you want to have to think or worry about is money. Please join us as we try to raise as much money as possible to help out the family.
