Benefit For 2 Yr Old Draven Pierce...9/11!

[BluesDawg]

Draven Pierce is a 2 yr old from Huttig, AR who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. He & his family are traveling to Arkansas Children's Hospital twice a week from southern Arkansas, and this benefit is to help defray medical & travel expenses for the family.

The Hamilton Stone Band will not be able to perform at this benefit Friday night, so Gemini, the lead vocalist for Wishtribe, of Little Rock will do an acoustic set in their place to start off the show.

There has been an amazing response so far for this event, & the organizers are anticipating a very good crowd.

By all accounts, the benefit was a success, the bands put on some outstanding performances... & even young Draven got into the act as well!

ohhh! the cuteness!!!

[BluesDawg]

Yeah, the little rascal had a ball...everyone treated him like royalty.

Unfortunately, he's been stricken with two brain tumors & some sort of mass growing on the lining of his throat which makes it extremely hard for him to swallow, but for all that...he's a fighter! He constantly wants to run & play with the older kids, and do exactly what they're doing...LOL!

Please send all the good thoughts, wishes, vibes, or prayers his way if you will!
