After Leah, one of my very best friends and former roommate in Charlotte, was sent to the hospital on May 20 to give birth to her twin baby boys, over a month later she was still in the hospital ... awaiting a liver transplant. Leah was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome, turning this miracle of life into tragedy in Leah’s own life.
Despite her condition Leah, being the positive person she is, is still laughing — she even came out of her coma cracking a joke about having cankles and managed to smile even after receiving news that she needed a complete liver transplant ... which is why we are going to support her with a night of laughter. Laughter is the best medicine after all.
On July 28 we are having a comedy show featuring Comedy Central comedian Steve Hofstetter and David L from 96.1's Brotha Fred's AM Mayhem in order to assist her in paying her medical bills, as well as spread awareness of the rare, but common disease, HELLP Syndrome. HELLP stands for Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, and Low Platelet count. It is a life-threatening disease that occurs during the later stages of pregnancy or after childbirth.
The event will be hosted by FOX's funny man Mark Mathis and there will be an auction for signed shit and items including ...
