For Allen -- Noblesville

This isn't a song request. 

This is a hope for an eV shout out to my friend Allen during the Noblesville show.

He was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer last Fall, which was devastating for he and his family of 5. Since then, he's undergone chemotherapy and, as of a few weeks ago, rang the bells. He's doing great, getting stronger each day, and will be attending this show with me in a few weeks. 

He's a big fan, and as his friend, I am beyond happy that he's well enough to attend with me. This show will be a celebration for him, no question.

Thanks for listening.

    I've got a pair in that row. I won't be sitting there, but my friends will. I'll make sure they toast with you. 
    Cheers Allen!

    I'll be at the show and will be thinking of you and your friend Allen. My sister, Amy, was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer back in 2022...and I was with her for each and every chemo session. When you said "ring the bells", I knew exactly what you meant and it hit me in the feels. The show will be epic...not in the sense of energy, set list, or whatever...but because Allen will be in attendance.

    I hope your sister is doing well. I'll keep her in my thoughts.

    Cancer is such an absolute monster... it's diabolical.

    The fact that Allen is able to make this show is something I don't take lightly. 8/26 will be a celebration for so many of us.
