This past Saturday we had a benefit concert for Riley at the Murray Hill Theatre in Jacksonville. It was one of the most amazing nights of my life. I was completely blown away by how many people came out in support. That night at Murray Hill there was about 700 people in attendance and 4 amazing bands that gave their time and love freely that night. It was so cool to see so many people that I have never met before come out to support my family, there were people buying PRAY FOR RILEY t-shirts left and right and offering words on encouragement to me all through out the night. One of the bands that played is a band from Orlando called Between the Trees they are on the Vans Warped tour, MTV, and Universals record label. Needless to say they are pretty big time, yet their hearts are like no other band that I have met. They say that they created their band to help those that need help and to make a difference and not just money. They are amazing guys with huge hearts who did this for me as a personal favor.....THEY ARE AMAZING GUYS WITH HUGE HEARTS SUPPORT THEM......Between the Trees
The picture above was my favorite part of the night, it was when I got to go up on stage and minister a little bit. In the picture is myself and Ryan the lead singer of Between the Trees (he is playing keys) and a huge picture of Riley....It was an awesome night the I am still trying to recover from.

Thanks so much for letting Murray Hill play a part in the fight for Riley. It was a wonderful night - music really does carry hope. I had been planning to come to the show for a while, but I was so stoked when I found out that it was a benefit! Your passion for God inspired me, man. I'm so glad we were able to help support your family!
Riley is CERTAINLY in my prayers!
