Today’s press release reads: *A circle of Brooklyn-based friends have joined together to throw a benefit for beloved, local musician, Jon Wiley. We Are The Wiley: A Benefit Concert For Jon Wiley will feature Adam Green, Lightspeed Champion, DJ Johnny Tropical and Chairlift at The Shank – an art space and concert venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn – on Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 8PM. On March 5, 2009, professional guitarist, bassist and keyboardist, Jon Wiley awoke without feeling or mobility in his arms and legs. He was subsequently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and incurred more than $30,000 worth of medical bills for his week-long hospital stay. After a lengthy recovery process, Jon has regained most feeling in his limbs and has gone on in recent months to record and perform with Lightspeed Champion, Adam Green, and his solo project, SpaceCamp. However, he is still without the means to afford his own health care. Join us to celebrate the extraordinary talent of Jon Wiley, and raise funds to cover the expenses of a musician in need. This is a concrete opportunity to help a friend who, like so many artists and musicians in the United States, lack affordable health care. Jon’s story highlights the importance of health care for every person and the value of living each day to the fullest.*
