Nancy Fiore, Mark Smrtnik's Mom, asked me to share this with everyone, writing:
This just shows what a wonderful community we live in! My son touches so many
people and they continue to support us in everyway possible. I hope you will
pass this info on just in case there are HD families in our area on the 27th!
Thanks, Nancy Fiore
PS We're also having our 7th annual golf/dinner fundraiser on Thurs, Sept 25th

Hello friends and family:

In the past years I have performed in several bands. Many, if not all of you,
have come to a show or two over the years. All of which are greatly appreciated.
I have another coming up, and for it... I'm asking for your help.

Some friends of mine from local Highwood bands and I have joined together to
raise money for Huntington's Disease Research. A friends family has been
affected by HD for several years, and its time to help out in any way that we
can.

On September 27, 2008, members of Rally Day, Fifth Story, The Ultrasonic
Project, and The Buckleys are joining forces to support the cause. The show will
be held at The Alley in Highwood @ 8:00 pm. There is a minimum donation of $5 at
the door. However, please don't feel limited to only that amount. Any and all
donations will be accepted. In addition to our band (The Highwood All-Stars),
there will be plenty to keep you entertained. A raffle, (including special
offers, and prizes from assorted businesses in town) drink specials, an opening
act t.b.a, and much more.

The monies raised provide funding for research at Dr. Rick Morimoto's lab at
Northwestern University, Dr. Jeffrey Kordower's lab at Rush University Medical
Center and provides funding for the Center of Excellence at Rush University
Medical Center in Chicago where the center provides therapeutic and medical
support to families with HD.

'When Mark was diagnosed with this horrific disease we could not believe the out
pouring of love and support we have received from the community and still
continue to do so. I am so proud of the people who know Mark and accept him for
the way he is.

Thank you again.'
-Nancy Fiore and family

Please come out, and dig deep. Mark is an amazing, tremendous guy and great
