Victoria, BC –March 17, 2009 – The JL Lyme Support Society will be hosting an event called Lyme-Aid at Lucky Bar (517 Yates St) on April 21st, 2009 from 9pm until 2am. The event is aimed solely at raising money to support Victoria resident Jean-Luc Giroux with his expensive treatment of Lyme Disease in the United States. Local Bands Unleash The Archers, Everyone Everywhere, Skies Kill, and Reaver will be featured at the event.

“JL (Jean-Luc) is very passionate about music, playing guitar is one of the things that is helping him cope in his battle with Lyme, so we decided it would be the perfect idea to throw him a benefit show.” said close friend and co-organizer Mike Deas.

Before getting sick, Jean-Luc was active in the community canvassing for charities such as Amnesty International, UNICEF, BC SPCA, Greenpeace, tutoring English at the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre, and volunteering for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

“The expenses associated with the treatment for chronic Lyme Disease are extremely high because treatment is not available in Canada.” said close friend Keilih Gates. “We’re hoping that everyone will come out for a great night and be able to show JL that he has a lot of friends in Victoria who support him in his battle.” - Sun, 19 Apr 2009 1:44pm

One more day, mofos, until punk and metal unite! And fuck and have babies which are then orphaned because they don't fit into either family!

I'm excited. - Mon, 20 Apr 2009 8:19pm

Note to self - Never wear that much clothing on stage again. WAY too hot in there

Was a really fun show to play. Unfortunatelly I wasn't able to stick around for UTA... I heard they tore the place up pretty good though - Thu, 23 Apr 2009 8:51am
