For fans of System Of A Down please spread the word.......the band needs our help.......reward offered!
Rafee and I have been friends for over 30 years. We met when we were 12 years old. This photo was taken on a high school bus going to grad night at Disneyland, and since Rafee and I weren’t graduating on stage with the rest of the students, we had to sneak onto the bus. That’s just one of the fun memories we’ve shared… Last year, Rafee got the worst news of his life when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Going through chemotherapy and hospital visits has been tough for Rafee and everyone who loves him. Right now, he needs a bone marrow transplant to survive, and we have only a small window of opportunity to find a match, so your help would mean so much. All you need to do is click on the link in bio and follow the sign-up instructions to order a testing kit, swab your mouth, and send it back by the end of March (it’s free!). Or, you can get swabbed at one of the drives (follow on IG for dates and locations). There is a $37,000 reward if you are his match AND go through with the transplant. (Depending on your country’s privacy laws, you will be contacted by Rafee either after you match or after you donate.) I will also put you on my guest list for any System Of A Down or Scars on Broadway show. I’d like to sincerely thank my band members John Dolmayan, Shavo Odadjian, and Serj Tankian for contributing to the pot, along with David Benveniste, Mark Wakefield, and George Tonikian. Anyone residing in the US, Germany, Chile, India, Poland, or the UK is eligible to join the registry. Even if you are not a match, you might help someone else who is fighting Leukemia, so please share! https://dkmsgetinvolved.org/virtualDrive/fight4rafee
