Larry Rice, who has mesothelioma, underwent several months of radiation to treat mesothelioma (cancer of three lining of the lung) on one side. That major tumor has been obliterated. Upon recent testing, (PET scan), his oncologists found four smaller new tumors in various places, but not recurring on the original tumor. Larry is currently undergoing radiation again in Tallahassee, Florida for about four weeks and he will be reevaluated again in two weeks. Larry's doctors are optimistic about obliterating these four new tumors.

While the Larry Rice Fund raised a considerable amount of funds through the Legends and Locals Benefit concert in December 2004, (much thanks to all the generous artists and patrons) the fund balance needs to be replenished. Larry now faces many new and additional costs associated with travel, PET scans, CAT scans, and prescription medications. Please consider a generous donation made to:
