The family of L7 bassist Jennifer Finch launched a crowdfunding campaign to assist with her fight against aggressive brain cancer, swearing that she wouldn\u2019t go quietly.<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old musician, who\u2019s also known as a writer, photographer and artist, has endured a series of medical procedures, but is now in a position where she needs constant assistance.<\/p>\n
The GoFundMe campaign, titled \u201cJennifer Finch vs. Brain Cancer: It\u2019s Time to Make Noise,\u201d<\/a> had raised over $200,000 of the $350,000 target within 12 hours of opening.<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/strong>Top 10 All Female Rock Bands<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMany of you know Jennifer as\u2026 a force of nature who has never been particularly interested in sitting still or going quietly,\u201d a social media statement read.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter her diagnosis, there was hope that treatment would give her a path back to some version of normal life. Instead, complications brought multiple surgeries and a relentless series of setbacks.<\/p>\n \u201cJennifer is now living with significant physical limitations and requires a level of care that love, friendship, and sheer determination cannot safely provide around the clock. So we\u2019re calling in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n The funding will help pay for at-home nursing care, physical therapy, speech therapy and \u201cthe essential support Jennifer needs to live with as much comfort, dignity, autonomy, and quality of life as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n The statement continued: \u201cJennifer has spent her life making noise. Making art. Making history. Challenging expectations. Kicking down doors. Showing up for people. Giving a damn when it would have been easier not to. Now it\u2019s our turn to show up for her.\u201d<\/p>\n It concluded: \u201cShe has never gone quietly. Neither will we.\u201d<\/p>\n Music in the ’80s is typically associated with the neon-tinged synthpop of MTV’s early era, but there was much more to this wildly varied decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u2018Time to Show Up\u2019 for Jennifer Finch, family say<\/h3>\n
