Dear Friends and Family,
Last week Tim Rath required an urgent craniotomy and, after a successful operation, remains under care. While CIMA is the best hospital in the country, it is also very expensive and the family needs our support to help pay for the procedure and manage Tim's recovery.
Please, don't wait to help. Every donation is greatly appreciated and will go a long way towards helping Tim, Karen and Jack get though this difficult time. Tim has touched so many of us through his music, friendship, humour and charm. Let's show him how much he means to us. 
We will be in touch with donors if any other kind of help is needed. The good news is he is now in recovery and getting excellent care. Please help ensure that remains the case. Should you wish to help directly in-country contact me directly, perrygladstoneATgmailDOTcom.
******PLEASE NOTE: This campaign is in Canadian dollars so please add 25% to your donation to equal US$******
