Hey all, I'm Josh Verduzco and I'm putting together this GoFundMe campaign on behalf of Brian Ferguson. Here's what we know about his condition: The tumor in his brain is a Grade 4 astrocytoma and is about 9cm x 6cm x 6cm in size. The cancer originated in the brain, and did not spread there from another organ. It's been slowly growing for several years now, but Brian is feeling positive and is determined to fight this illness.

So we're asking you for a donation, anything helps, to contribute toward the medical expenses and chemotherapy costs associated with his brain cancer diagnosis.

Brian and I started the Austin Photography Group way back in the day from 2006 - 2011, building and developing it into the largest photography community of its kind back then. We held monthly meetings and put on events, photo trips, and art shows around the Austin area. People know his personality is filled with buoyancy, and we'd like to make sure he makes his way back to shore.

Brian's been helping out the Austin art community for many, many years. Along the way, he's been part of a handful of musical projects. Recently one of his bands, Hello Caller, have reunited after hearing about Brian's diagnosis to release new material and it's available for you to listen to below.

Here's the two most recent recordings that he and his band Hello Caller have created: https://hellocaller.bandcamp.com/album/electric-skies-single-ep

I hope fellow artists, musicians, and the general public can rally around our friend in his time of need.

On behalf of Brian, thank you for your donations!

Josh
