Let's help Mike kick cancer's ass!

Our pal, Mike Croswell, has been one the busiest, most conscientious and talented sound designers/composer/musicians in town. So many theaters and colleges have benefited from his talent and wizardry. His sound design and composition have elevated countless theatre productions into the stratosphere, and his work performing as musician with so many other artists has also been phenomenal.
Well, last December, Mike had a root canal that wouldn't heal, which landed him in the ER, where the symptoms of the refusal to heal led to a diagnosis of high grade B cell double hit lymphoma, an aggressive cancer that is difficult to address as it involves two gene mutations. Since January, Mike has gone through several rounds of chemo. His team was not thrilled with the last result so they are now looking into the next step which may involve a bone marrow transplant or a relatively new procedure that we hope will help him KICK CANCER'S ASS.
With Kitty's job, and help from family and various sources that support to those fighting lymphoma and musicians with medical needs, Mike and Kitty have been managing okay up to this point with the expenses. However, this next stage is more challenging. The procedures that he is looking at will take a lot out of Mike. He'll need a caretaker, which means that Kitty is going to have to reduce her working hours so she can be with Mike, which reduces their income. That's where WE come in! This gofundme campaign is targeted at raising funds to help Mike and Kitty with medical and household expenses, so that they focus on the important things--helping Mike heal, spending time together and with family--and easing their load with finances.
We're hopeful that this next step will help Mike in his health crisis. A huge part of that will be easing some of the worry about the finances. Please help to whatever degree you can to help him KICK CANCER'S ASS! Mike and Kitty are extremely grateful to all of the help that they have received, and will be ever so grateful for your help. Thanks for considering lending a hand!
