Surfer Blood guitarist Thomas Fekete is raising money for cancer treatment

Surfer Blood guitarist Thomas Fekete (top, second-right) has set up a donation page to help fund treatment for a very rare and aggressive form of cancer.

Fekete was diagnosed a few months ago, and he’s since been told by specialists that the only appropriate treatment is an advanced, alternative type that has a high success rate but will cost tens of thousands. “Insurance will only cover a portion of my treatment,” the guitarist writes on his GoFundMe page, which has a current target of $76k.

“Any bit of help would be massive for me, as I’m no longer able to tour and make a living, and my wonderful wife/best friend whom I just married in November will now be leaving work to help me throughout my treatment,” he writes.

“If you can’t help, no worries whatsoever, all I ask is that you spread the word.”

In the space of a day, Fekete has raised just short of $10k. Help him reach the remainder of his target as soon as possible by donating here.
