Hi. I'm Jackie Farry. Most of you probably don't know me. I usually tour manage rock bands. In June 2003, in the middle of a world tour with The Datsuns, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a rare form of cancer. Too sick to work, and facing some nasty financial problems, I reached out to some amazing friends. A series of benefit concerts was arranged and an unbelievable raffle was put together with prizes donated by loads of really wonderful people.

Here's information on the shows and the raffles.

Thanks again to everyone who has shown support over these past few years.

-Jackie
