This past weekend I found myself in Estevan, Saskatchewan.
I had been asked to perform at a fundraiser for Kurtis Herbert and his family.
On August 9th, at 18 years old Kurtis was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a very rare form of the disease. Faced with a battery of treatments and currently undergoing chemotherapy in Regina – this young man has an incredible battle ahead. A bone marrow donor has been found, and Kurtis will be travelling to Seattle to for the transplant.
The community of Estevan rallied around the Herbert family Saturday night. The show was a complete sell out and the live auction was a huge success. As announced at the end of the evening Saturday a total of just over $25,000 was raised for Kurtis and his family.
