Our dear friend, Dallas/Fort Worth local folk singer Michael Harrison, has been diagnosed with throat cancer. His medical team is guardedly optimistic about his recovery. Michael is preparing to fight for his life. And the treatment itself will leave him unable to work for most of this year.

Michael and his music have uplifted and entertained us, and now we have our chance to return the favor. Knowing that months of radiation therapy and chemotherapy for throat cancer can be both emotionally and financially devastating, we are resolved to help Michael with his fight.

Here is how you can help.

• Donate directly to Michael through the donation box above.
• Collect donations by putting the donation box on your own website. Click Add to site on the donation box to get started.

• Follow us and spread the word on Facebook by clicking Become a Fan in the Facebook box below.
• E-mail us.
• Check back again. We are looking into organizing a benefit concert this spring!
