Lou Koller, lead singer for New York hardcore band SICK OF IT ALL has been diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma (esophageal cancer). He is undergoing treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in NY and chemo therapy will take place at their location in New Jersey where Lou lives. However, Lou could use your help as insurance does not currently cover his treatment or required surgery in NY. Insurance will only partially cover treatments taking place in his home state of New Jersey.
Lou is a founding member of Sick of it All and the band rely upon the income from touring to support their families. As a result of Lou’s diagnosis all tour plans present and future have been cancelled. The bills are overwhelming and we ask that if you have the means you might consider donating to help Lou cover these costs and focus on his treatment and recovery. He has a long road ahead and undetermined time frame to recovery before he is well enough to perform and tour once again.
Thank you so much for considering a donation to help Lou during this difficult time. Your generosity and kindness of heart are greatly appreciated by Lou and the Sick of it All family.
Proceeds from this tax-deductible donation will go towards Lou’s care and recovery.
