Through The Pain
BENEFIT SHOWS, AUCTION FOR MADINA LAKE’S MATTHEW LEONE
Chicago, IL (JULY 19, 2010) – On July 6th, Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone came to the aid of a woman being physically assaulted by her husband on the 1300 block of West Ohio Street. After intervening and calling Chicago police, Leone was beaten by the man and left unconscious in the street. Matthew's brain injuries were so severe that multiple surgeries have been required to remove portions of his skull. Matthew does not have medical insurance and is currently recovering at home.
Through the Pain is a non-profit benefit alliance created by Matthew’s friends in support of his yet untold medical, legal and rehabilitation costs. Partnering with Sweet Relief, a non-profit charity that maintains a financial fund from which professional musicians can draw from when in need of medical care or financial assistance, we are holding a series of benefit concerts, auctions and special events.
The first concert features an acoustic set from Nathan and Mateo of Madina Lake and performances by AM Taxi, The Fold, The Lifeline and David Costa takes place at Double Door (21+) on Saturday, August 21st.
