Last month the devastating news was received that Rick had been diagnosed with a Stage 4 gbm brain tumor. He has had surgery and is doing radiation and chemo treatments that started May 2nd. We are doing a fund raiser to help with the medical bills and the high cost of the chemo prescriptions. Please help support Rick and Laura by donating to them.
These funds go to Rick directly – not thru me or anyone else. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Ann at akitaplanetpublishing@gmail.com.

UPDATE: Laura Ottum: 5/15/16: Day 13… Ricky played yesterday with Evermore/Danny Masters Gorklo. Did a couple of songs… Way too cold, LOL .. I thought he did great. Took a long time for him to get warm. Over all, a good night …
[This does not negate the seriousness of the situation. Ricky still has thousands of dollars in medical bills and brain cancer.]
