McGrath, 28, is a veteran of New Jersey punk & hardcore scene (formerly of Saves the Day, Hands Tied, & Mouthpiece). In May 2002, exploratory surgery revealed cancer throughout Sean digestive tract. For more than two years now, Sean has been undergoing regular chemotherapy sessions and has had countless hospitalizations and surgeries...an extensive and expensive course of treatment.

In response to the expenses of this life-threatening illness, and as a show of love and support, members of the New York/New Jersey music scene have gathered to raise funds to help Sean and his family in this time of need. The funds are being raised through benefit concerts, online sales through sites like ebay and half.com, and through the collection of direct donations.

Sean is receiving weekly chemotherapy treatments at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, and will continue to do so for at least the foreseeable future. The treatments take a toll on Sean's energy level and general well-being, but the incredible level of support and encouragement he has received over the past two years has only steeled his resolve. SEAN WILL BEAT CANCER, and your support is of huge assistance.
