Sometimes Crisis and Tragedy come in single instances...

Michael Brecker, Jazz Legend, is in need of some help. While we are all helping the thousands of victims of Katrina, lets not forget that there are many, many smaller, but just as desperate, situations out there that we need to address.

Susan Brecker Letter:

"Dear Family and Friends,

My husband, Michael Brecker, has been diagnosed with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) and it's critical that he has a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplant (which has nothing to do with embryonic stem cells). The initial search for a donor, including Michael's siblings and children, has not resulted in a suitable match. We now hope to have as many people tested as possible that share a similar genetic background as my husband. There are some important points to understand concerning this process:"

Please take a moment to read this and I hope if any of you fit this criteria you could help. Let's all wish Michael success and speedy recovery.
