Is a community fundraising initiative that allows me to afford the costly expenses of living with  FSHD, including medical care, specialized equipment and added living expenses.  Contributions also help build the Mwalimu-Banks FSHD Foundation, which will provide direct support to individuals struggling through the financial challenges of living with FSHD.

​

For the last two years, 

my beloved community has gathered 

for a live music Telethon event at

Joe's Pub, NYC for an evening of art exchange and incredible performances by brilliant musicians.  

 

I am beyond grateful and honored to have received overwhelming support from so many.

 

Here are links to live streamed videos of our very first event in 2023:

We are in the process of developing programming for our next event, so stay tuned for updates on this page! In the meantime,  please consider making a donation to my GoFundMe fundraiser.

Every single contribution helps tremendously.​
