Journalist Mark Hensch Holding Fund Raiser

Longtime www.antiMUSIC.com writer/columnist and www.Thrashpit.com editor Mark Hensch needs your help for a very worthy cause!

A sophomore at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, Mark’s friends/room-mates Dylan Lindgren (23) and Brad Puglisi (20) have both been diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in the last year. As Stage IV Lymphoma is the worst progression of the Lymphoma Cancer, hospital costs in treating both men are expected to be steep.

With this in mind, Mark is organizing a fundraiser the weekend of Feb. 29 through March 2. The fundraiser, called the “F*ck Cancer Social,” needs all the moral and material support it can get to help these two fine young men and their suffering families.

For those that can not make this event, plans are also being discussed about organizing an online auction for all donated items (via a newly made e-bay account 207fcs) as well as a possible benefit concert and/or a digital album.

Any merch, promo albums, instruments, letters, or other donations would be greatly appreciated. Bands willing to play a free house show during the event can come to Hillsdale, Michigan and be guaranteed free food, housing, and alcohol provided they contact Mark first. Money donations can also be sent to a Paypal account registered under Mark’s friend Templeton Klos, located at Tklos@hillsdale.edu

Parties interested in helping out this cause in any way, shape, or form can contact Mark via e-mail at MDHGuitars3@aol.com, Facebook under Mark David Hensch, or Myspace at www.myspace.com/henschs_hometown_heroes.
