From the "Amanda's Rage Cranking it up for Austin" Facebook page (with a few edits):
(Area band) Amanda's Rage will be cranking it up to help Austin Heineman in his battle with cancer.
At the young age of 17 Austin was suddenly up against, and in a battle, with a very aggressive and rare form of cancer called Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor.
Austin is now 18. He has completed several rounds of chemo and will soon be undergoing bone marrow transplants in Maryland. He has also had to travel to New York City for several days/weeks at a time for treatment.
Austin's father, Jason, has been transporting and staying by Austin's side on each and every trip for treatment.
Austin needs your help, support and all-important prayers to continue fighting this battle.
Austin's Army is looking for recruits. Do you have what it takes?
Come out March 1 to join Austin's Army & show Austin and his family that they are not alone in this.
$3.00 cover/donation - 50/50 raffles - Open donations.
This event will take place at the Batavia Country Club, at 7909 Batavia-Byron Road in Batavia, and last from 8 p.m. until midnight Friday.
For more information, call Dawn at 703-3793.
