Help a brother out

By Michael ButlerUncategorized

I got this email from my friend Aron from Parking in Bitterman Circle:

`I hope you all can take some time out of your busy day to help me with something important. My friend Michael Brecker the sax player is in the hospital with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) which is life threatening. He’s now been in for 2 months and is very ill. It can be treated by bone marrow transplant and stem cell treatment. I just completed a podcast on it and have a link at bitterman circle which links to his site with detailed information. This is a call to the podcasting community to get people to get their blood tested and registered to help Michael and others with situations similar to his. I’m not asking for money, I’m asking to spread the word. Here are the links:

We can really help people with this little thing of ours… let’s do it right away.

Thank you in advance,

Aron

  2. Hello Aron,

    Thankyou for the post. You have my full support and I will do all I can to get the message out.

    Hang in there Michael Brecker, you have people Worldwide pulling for you. Stay strong!

    I ask all listeners to get the message out about being Registered for Bone Marrow Transplants.
    You could save a life!
