Make Cancer a No Brainer Charity Auction

Brad Mastrine's (who some of you may remember ran The Faded Line) wife Mindy was diagnosed with 2 brain tumors in August 2012, weeks before her 40th birthday. No warning signs - he just woke up to her having a grand mal seizure at 4am. Again, no warning signs, no history - totally out of the blue. Two craniotomies and 17 months of chemo later and she's doing well! But the tumors will come back... The good news is that they're in a lull - a new normal for awhile. But as a husband and father, he can't idly sit waiting for the MRI scans to show growth. Brad was shocked at how little funding brain tumor research receives each year even though it’s the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children under age 20 and in males ages 20-39.

So Brad tapped his music friends and colleagues and have put together a pretty impressive auction and named it Make Cancer a No Brainer. And he needs everyones help spreading the word socially. http://www.nobrainerauction.com
