Former Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd is battling a resurgence of testicular cancer.
Sadly, his cancer has spread and his medical costs are mounting. His supporters have launched a fundraising campaign to help defray some of his increasing medical bills. The campaign aims to raise money to not only help Michael get the treatment and medications he needs to fight the cancer, but to help him regain his independence. To put a roof over his head so that he has his own bed from which he can fight.
