The family and friends of Tristan Taylor hope an upcoming night of hard rock tunes will benefit the 22-year-old Esquimalt resident who is battling cancer.
Taylor has neuroblastoma and says he is running out of treatment options. He is trying to raise $100,000 for an alternative therapy at the Byrzynski Clinic in Texas. The cost is not covered by B.C.B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s Medical Services Plan.
The upcoming fundraiser, featuring local bands Deckard Cain and Sexy Offenders, happens March 10, 7 p.m. to midnight, at the Esquimalt Dockyard branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, 622 Admirals Rd. Ticket holders must be at least 19 years old.
Tickets are $10, and are available at the Legion, in advance or at the door.
