Maraesa, my Dad and I were guests at an ALS event where Springsteen and Bon Jovi performed and also where I got a standing ovation from the crowd when I was introduced and did a lap around the theater in my chair. It was quite the experience.

They were very strict with tickets or else I would have invited everybody. The night rocked tho…. and rocking out is good for the soul…..;-] The event in Redbank, New Jersey at The Count Basie Theater held 1,500 people and sold out in 3 minutes. 500 promotional DVDs were distributed.

We want to thank Terry Magovern who produced the benefit on behalf of his late fiancee, Joan Dancy, who passed away from ALS and whose dying wish was to help people with ALS and their families.
