A Call for Help: J, Janet & Cal Robbins
12.24.06
As many of you have now heard J and Janet from Channels have a very sick baby boy
As many of you have now heard J and Janet from Channels have a very sick baby boy. Their son, Callum, was born with a genetic motor neuron disease called Type 1 SMA, or Spinal Muscular Atrophy. This is a serious disease that has no cure. In response to the many people who have asked how they can help, their friends and ex-Jawbox bandmates Kim Coletta and Bill Barbot, have set up a page on their Desoto Records website where people can find more information about Cal's condition and donate to his treatment fund. Obviously this is a painful time but your thoughts and best wishes go a long way.
