MJO gives back to Luke Menard

Date August 28, 2008

As you all know, Michael’s good friend and fellow AI contestant, Luke Menard, was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the summer. If dealing with this disease and the chemotherapy treatments that goes with it isn’t enough, the financial stress alone can be quite overwhelming. We at MJO would like to encourage you to please help out Luke and his wife Lara by donating if you are able to. Luke has recently set up a Paypal account so all of your donations will go straight to him.

Please use this email for all Paypal Donations: lukeandrewmenard@gmail.com

If you would prefer to send donations or words of encouragement via snail mail please use this mailing address:

Luke and Lara Menard
P.O. Box 9
Crawfordsville, IN 47933

MJO is planning to host a special fundraiser for Luke very soon. It will be an auction and MJ has agreed to donating some personal items for you to bid on. There are many details still left to be worked out but we will be sure to keep you updated.

Thanks to everyone at MJO who has already made donations to help Luke!
