 El Santo (aka Gus) needs our help...
Our old friend and OG member of Axes of Evil, Gus (El Santo) has been diagnosed with cancer. He was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which is ‘pre-leukemia’. He's only 39 years old with a wife and 2 very young children who all need him very much. HE NEEDS OUR HELP! The only way to help him is if he finds a match for a bone-marrow donor. All you have to do is register and your blood-type is entered into the national donor registry. Hopefully, one of us could save his life. He's one amazing man, father and husband who's far from being ready to go. Please go to http://www.BeTheMatch.com and register. They'll send you a swab kit right to your house. It takes a few minutes to register so please don't be discouraged. All he needs is ONE donor match and his life will continue as he knows it. It's not even been 3 months since we lost our dear friend Dave Melrose to cancer (ironically, @ 39 years of age as well). Let's not lose another friend.

Here's Gus, Dusty Bottoms and I @ Inspiration Point about 18 months ago.
