Concert
to Benefit Helena Infant
Sunday,
February 18, 2002
2 p.m. - 10 p.m.
Free admission
The Lost & Foundation will hold a fund-raising concert
on Sunday, February 18, at the Colonial Inn in Helena from
2 to 10 p.m. Proceeds of the concert will go to help a Helena
boy, Trenton Krushensky.
The 22-month-old son
of Ken and Toshua Krushensky, Trenton has a serious parathyroid
deficiency - primary familial hyperparathyroidism with four-gland
hyperplasia and hypercalcuric hypocalcemia. This is a very
rare disorder, usually seen in elderly men. Trenton is the
only child ever diagnosed with this deficiency. His body is
unable to regulate calcium, resulting in multiple complications:
arthritis, rickets, osteopenia, calcium deposits on organs,
and frequent infections.
Trenton had one parathyroid
transplant into upper arm. It atrophied because of blood flow
problems. He was scheduled for a second transplant of his
own gland, but the tissue bank destroyed the tissue in shipping.
He could get a donor transplant, but right now his immune
system is impaired and he couldn't take anti-rejection drugs.
He requires daily medical
treatment at St. Peter's Hospital and frequent trips to Salt
Lake City. The treatment is experimental, and insurance covers
very little of the costs. Medication runs $1,000 a month,
and the family faces huge bills from the previous surgery.
The event will raise
money through a silent auction, raffles, 50/50 drawings, and
donations. Admission is free, but we gladly accept entrance
donations.
Several area merchants
have generously given prizes for drawings and raffles. In
addition, the Colonial Inn will donate a portion of the day's
proceeds to the cause.
The benefit will feature
three stages and several musical acts. More than
a dozen musical acts will perform during the day.
