Fan diagnosed with cancer would like to meet the band

edited November 2009 in The Porch
I am writing to see if anyone can help. My friend and co-worker has been recently diagnosed with cancer. It is pretty bad and is spreading throughout his body. I think it would help his spirits immensely if he was able to meet someone in the band. He is a huge Pearl Jam fan and has been actively involved in helping others throughout his life. He was the local president of our Democratic Party and went back to school to help counsel people with drug and alcohol problems. He is 26 years sober and the father of 2 wonderful teenage daughters.

If there is anyone out there who knows someone, or knows someone who knows someone who can help I would appreciate it so much. All I am looking for is a time and place where we could meet a band member. He could come to Seattle or where ever the meeting would take place.

Please PM, call, or e-mail me with any questions and thank you for taking the time to read this.

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    exactly what i was going to suggest.
    contacting 10c should be your first priority if you really want to try and make this happen.

    all the best to your friend!
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Sounds like a stand up guy, I hope things turn around for him real soon.

    And good luck with trying to meet the band, hey, anything is possible with this band. They have hearts of gold from what I've experienced.

    I'm wondering if there's a non-profit or foundation for those who have terminal cancer that have a wish like this, that can help. You know, similarly to the Make-a-wish Foundation for kids... I'd look for an organization like that or just contact TC or Curtis management like others have mentioned.

    Best of luck to your friend and best wishes for recovery. :)
