geofio Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Hi Guys , 2 months ago I lost a dear friend from esophageal cancer, he was only 43 years old and a musician !! he played on a few of our tracks playing acoustic guitar, He was talented and and a mega friend to me he only lasted 8 weeks after his diagnosis from the hospital, Derek had been a big part of charity work for women with breast cancer, he did the photo shoot for the calendar that sold out , every penny went to that cancer, I feel we have to do something to honour him, we have just completed our 9th album, I have put a price of £3 on the album every album we sell I am going to give the money to Cancer research uk , every penny, it is not much but i hope we can sell a few and help fund this vital research into these life taking Cancer's. I watched Derek fade away in front of me, he was far too young to to die from this particular cancer . Anything we can do help raise funds for this work is a must. Any support is appreciated. There is a track on the album dedicated to Derek, called Derek's Lament. cheers George https://extremedanger.bandcamp.com/album/law-of-gravity?fbclid=IwAR2T9rT62z-4WPUjClg174IEFWpZ6kQhUiIQdPckXif1fPiJqdiz_Dh-UpQ The photo of myself and Derek 2 weeks before he passed away.

geofio Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks Dem appreciate what you said there, yes cancer is horrible watching a good mate die in front of me is something I never want to experience again and you feel useless as a person as there is nothing that can be done when it is an aggressive cancer like Derek had. cheers George 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
