PUNK ROCK CANCER BENEFIT #1 (MARCH 8TH, 2008)
-------------------------------------------------------
CHARLY DALE
ON THE AFTERNOON OF JUNE 14TH, 2008, CHARLY DALE PASSED AWAY AT HER HOME IN COVINA, CALIFORNIA. SHE WAS WITH HER LOVING PARENTS. ON JUNE 19TH, I (CARLOS) HAD THE HONOR OF BEING A PALL BEARER FOR THIS WONDERFUL LITTLE GIRL AS WE LAID HER TO REST AT FOREST LAWN IN GLENDALE. IT WAS ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS OF THE YEAR BUT WHEN WE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL WHERE CHARLY WILL FOREVER HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VIEW, IT WAS VERY BREEZY. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER DAY. I WILL FOREVER BE A BETTER PERSON FOR HAVING KNOWN CHARLY. SHE WILL BE AN INSPIRATION TO ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE AND I WILL ALWAYS DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE STRIKEN BY THIS BEAST OF A DISEASE AND CHARLY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS!

(My Wife) Sarah & (My Sister) Dolores - March 2007
My sister Dolores Anguiano-Torres was diagnosed with Lukemia after a routine check-up during the early summer months of 2007. I (Carlos) was lucky enough to turn up a 100% match. A transplant was performed at UCLA Medical Center in Westwood California in October of '07. In December of '07, Dolores was declared cancer-free. She thankfully remains free of cancer to this day (October 7, 2008).
