Do you remember seeing Rick, with the Ragamuffins & Rich Mullins at the Cross Rhythms Fest? Those guys made you glad to say you listened to rock music written by Christians...They kept it real. I guess the £$ raised isn't going to keep him alive but it will pay the med bills which will make his last days as pain free as possible, before he earns his eternal reward.
