A message to the band...

Just fired off the following email to 10C, but thought it might be a good idea to post here as backup, too, and wanted to share our story with you all.
At the age of 15 I lost my dad to cancer, just three years after losing my mom to the same disease. Vitalogy was released a month prior, and was essentially my therapy through an incredibly difficult period of life.
Fast forward eight years, I accidentally met my soulmate through the Message Pit right before the 2003 tour kicked off. We were living 1,000 miles apart (Florida to Pennsylvania) and found each other thanks to a shared love of all things Pearl Jam. We became engaged the day of the October 3, 2005 concert, shortly after closing on the home we purchased together near Philadelphia.
We will be flying out to to Seattle to celebrate 10 years of marriage with 50,000 of our mutual friends at Safeco Field, and as fate would have it, our actual wedding anniversary happens to be August 8th!
We’ve met so many amazing people through the forum and PJ tours, and a lot of them will also be joining us. We hope it might mean something to the band to know that we’ll be there for such an awesome milestone because of them. And just knowing that they’ve read our story would truly be a wonderful anniversary gift!
With love and gratitude,
Sharon and Greg
