Hi KISS, Here's a pic of our son Liam after the Newcastle KISS gig waiting to meet you backstage and sign his cast. Liam was diagnosed with a rare form of children's cancer at Xmas being aged only 11. Cancer affects 1 in every 4 people, a shocking statistic which we've unfortunately seen first hand and devastates families. It affects both young & old and makes no distinction between colour or creed. Advances in modern medicine are now combating this dreadful illness to great affect but that takes a lot of fundraising and publicity. Thanks Gene for taking a lead and backing such a worthy cause. From watching your Family Jewels programme I know you are very proactive in supporting charitable causes and that your family was also recently touched by the scourge of cancer, so you can appreciate what other families must be going through. I hope Shannon is on the road to a full recovery as it appears our Liam is also. He's only about half way through his treatment but the doctor's have been really impressed with his recovery. I ask all your fans out there reading this letter to back your sterling campaign. Liam's even donated some money himself as he really appreciates everything that has been done for him. Please also give generously. Together we can make a real difference to the lives of children and families going through this terrible illness. Harper Family x
