Update on Mars Williams #2

Here is another update about Mars Williams. His GoFundMe page has reached its goal!! Yesterday Dave Rempis, who organized the page, had posted an update and here's what he wrote:


"Dear friends,

We wanted to post another update on Mars Williams GoFundMe campaign to share some good news. Last night we hit the goal of the campaign!! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we've been able to ensure that Mars can have some time and space while undergoing chemo to not have to worry about the medical bills, or being out of work for close to a year. (That's not to say you shouldn't encourage friends to donate, so please feel free if you're so inclined! Everything helps and will have a great impact.)

Mars will be continuing treatment for a few more months. And as anyone knows who's been through this, or had close friends and family going through this, CANCER SUCKS. It's a major drag any way about it. But Mars is continuing to navigate his way through it, and even practicing his horns or having coffee with friends when he has enough energy to do so. As always, he's making everyone around him laugh even when it's tough to get out of bed. And he's hoping to be back onstage this fall.

We had coffee yesterday, and he asked me to pass along his regards and gratitude for the support you've all shown in ways both big and small. And he looks forward to seeing you again onstage asap!!!

Thanks so much to all of you, and with my utmost appreciation,

Dave"


I'm so happy that Mars Williams got the help, and I hope he will get better enough to join the rest of The Psychedelic Furs for the Autumn tour. Wishing all the best for Mars. <3
