Fuming Mouth is a MA band I have written about and praised, and we have recently learned Mark, the vocalist and guitarist, is battling cancer. Please take a few moments to read the below statement from his partner, Selena and donate if you are able.
"My name is Selena Gavin. I am writing on behalf of Mark Whelan, as his partner. We are from Boston, MA.
On November 19 2021, Mark was diagnosed with an aggressive form of
cancer called Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). This diagnosis came as a
shock after a week long stay at Milford Regional Medical Center.
Mark has since been transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Center, near Fenway in Boston, where he began induction chemotherapy
treatment on November 26 2021.
This is just the beginning of Mark’s fight against AML. He will
require extensive treatment in the upcoming months while he is
hospitalized.
Mark is currently on state healthcare and much of what he will
endure for treatment will not be covered by insurance. We are asking for
donations to help lessen the massive financial blow of this incredibly
devastating news. These funds will be directly withdrawn to Mark and
will be used to pay his medical bills resulting from his cancer
treatment. Anything counts and is deeply appreciated. It is highly
unlikely that the goal amount will cover all of his medical bills, so
any donation is welcome.
Mark’s treatment will include a bone marrow transplant. This is a
procedure that depends on the availability of donors. If you’re able,
please consider joining the bone marrow donor registry. It’s free and
can help save someone’s life. Find more information here: https://bethematch.org"
ALSO I noticed that @Hardcorestadium is putting on a benefit show for Mark, I cannot wait for this! What a thoughtful idea with a killer lineup - VEIN and the first Mizery show in 3 years!
