In 2012 Mutherockers participated in a fundraiser at Lucky's in Hampton for Wes Pack a 5 year old local child stricken with Neuroblastoma.There was a raffle that we donated merchandise for and entertainment from several local bands.They raised money through admission fees ,raffles and silent auctions.Wes's aunt graduated from High School with me and the last time I saw her she said he was improving and getting good news from the doctors.relapsed a year later. I was saddened to learn this week that Wes is still struggling with the disease when he made local news when he met the pope on his recent visit to the US. The hand of Pope Francis touched a Yorktown family in a special way.

Nine-year-old Wes Pak is currently in New York City receiving chemotherapy for stage 4 cancer.

Pope Francis blessed Wes and and ten other children staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Wes’ mother, Krista Pak, said  each child and parent received a rosary.

Wes needs a miracle, please pray hard for this child who has struggled with illness the larger part of his life.
