Darrin 'Diamond D' Gagliarducci was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)

Darrin's love for music began as an 11-year-old calling into college radio stations. People soon realized there was something special about this kid! His Dad started driving him to the radio station where he would run songs with the DJs. Darrin’s life revolved around music. For example--In the mid-80’s he jumped up on stage with U2 to play in front of everyone at Hartford Civic Center. Darrin has always been adventurous and as anyone can imagine, news of his ALS diagnosis shattered his friends and family. Darrin is faced with a significant life event, and we want to be there for him.

As one can imagine monthly expenses out pace Darrin's income and that leaves no room to get out on the road to visit friends or even enjoy a show and dinner not to mention covering the mortgage.
