The Bob Britt Fund

Hi there and thanks for stopping by! We are Angie Perkins and Hannah Green, and we've started this campaign to raise money for Bob Britt during his time of healing.


For those of you who don't know Bob, we'll fill you in real quick. Bob Britt is a husband, father, and one of the most badass guitar players around! He's played for many names over the years including, but not limited to, Delbert McClinton, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell & Edgar Winter, Dixie Chicks, John Fogerty, The Judds and many more...


Recently, Bob was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. This particular cancer is aggressive and as such, is treated aggressively. Fortunately, this particular lymphoma tends to respond well to the treatment protocol that he is undergoing and he, his family, and his doctor are optimistic for a positive outcome. His treatment plan includes six rounds of chemotherapy, four lumbar punctures, and three to four weeks of daily radiation. This will be a long process, over about 6 or 7 months.



We set our monetary goal at $30,000 to help Bob and his wife Etta pay for their daily living expenses including utility bills, gas, groceries, and other general expenses as well as their medical bills. Bob is hoping to be able to continue to work, but we know that chemotherapy can be quite tough on a person's body (as well as mind and soul). There will soon come a time that he won't be able to work over the next 7 months, and if so, Etta will be staying home to be with him throughout his healing process. So, with both of them taking time off of work and driving to and from Vanderbilt Hospital so often, bills will become burdensome. In fact, they will have to drive from Dickson to Vanderbilt and back daily for Bob's radiation treatments (think about the amount of gas that will take).

We'd like to raise money to be available immediately for Bob and Etta, so we're asking for any amount you can spare, however large or small. And, of course, prayers are ALWAYS welcome!


This is important to me, Angie, because my friendship with Bob and Etta Britt means the world to me, and this is what friends do...I know they would do this for me. They are so giving of their time to others that this is really a no-brainer. My husband, Jeffrey, and I feel like we are part of the Britt family and we just want to do whatever we can to help.


This is important to me, Hannah, because for those of you who don't know me, Bob Britt is my father. He and my mother have done more for me than I can even comprehend (I mean, they literally gave me life) and I will do anything that I can to help them through this trying time. I love them with all of my heart.


We will be more thankful than you can imagine for any donation you can make because Bob is just that important to us.
 



Cancer is one of those things that we all hear about on a daily basis but always think to ourselves, "it'll never happen to me." Well, it's happening to the Britts... please join us in showing them love and support!
