Support the OG Rockstar's battle with cancer

Donation protected
November 19th, Ty Tomlinson will celebrate another trip around the sun. A few months back, he received the diagnosis of a rare form of cancer called hairy cell leukemia. After many tests, eight days in the hospital, around 50 blood draws, and a bone marrow extraction, doctors determined his body had been fighting the disease for at least two years. With this cancer being discovered so late, it's extremely difficult to treat. The added irony, HCL has been directly linked to the hair industry as a result of years of contact with hair care products. Ty commented, "It's surprising, I know, but at least I can say one thing: I'm dying from making people feel good."

Reflecting on Rockstar days, Ty always reminded us of the importance to make the everyday person feel like a Hollywood starlet. In his words, "There's nothing more rewarding than making regular, everyday, real-life people feel like those Hollywood stars. I get so much more satisfaction from that."

Friends and fam, it's time to send that love and gratitude back to our guy! Ty fell ill in June which forced him to stop working and in the months that have gone by, this condition continues to debilitate him making it more and more difficult to perform daily activities. I find myself wishing I had one more chance to sit in his chair.... Please consider giving the gift of "one more appointment". Those funds we spend each holiday season can make a huge impact on Ty's life at this time.

Happy Birthday to the OG Rockstar. We love you!
