Abby Miller Rocks for Children's Cancer this Sunday!

This Sunday 75 DC-area musicians join Abby Miller in her campaign to Rock Children's Cancer



Herndon, VA



On several weekends over the past two years, 12-year-old Abby Miller from Sterling, VA has performed outside of strip malls and train stations to raise money for Taylor Love, a 4-year-old from Ashburn who is battling neuroblastoma. Abby gets a helping hand as 75 local musicians from 15 bands join her this Sunday, April 11th for "Let's Rock Children's Cancer." This is an all-ages benefit concert that will run from 2 PM until 10 PM at Ned Devine's of Herndon. All proceeds will go to the Band of Parents Foundation which is raising money to treat neuroblastoma.



(Note: this is an event that is 100% music. Mostly classic rock. There will not be crafts and games like there were at the Candlelighters' tree lighting ceremony so this is mostly an event that will appeal to adults and kids over 12.)



Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for youth under 18. Tickets are available at the door or at www.studiorocknova.com.



Joining Abby will be: Margot MacDonald Band, Patty Reese, Iris Divine, Dr. FU, Bill Mulroney and Second Wind Bandits, StudioRock Musicians, Lightspeed Rescue, Rain Maxwell, Sobriquet, Katherine Thorsey, Mercury in Summer, Indecision, Full Tilt and Hathaway Brown. The MC is "Little John" Caniford from JJDL Radio.



The event is sponsored by StudioRock of Northern Virginia, a performance-base rock music school in Potomac Falls, VA. Approximately 30 students from the school will perform during the concert.

Taylor Love was diagnosed three years ago with Stage IV, High Risk Neuroblastoma. After undergoing countless procedures and operations, she is currently in remission but there is a 90% chance her cancer will return. Her doctors at Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center in New York City have developed an antibody that they believe is 100 times more effective than any previous treatment. They need $800,000 in order to move forward with this treatment. All proceeds for this fundraiser will fund this treatment.



Ned Devine's is located at 2465 Centreville Rd, Herndon, VA 20171
