KISS's original road manager, J.R. Smalling, has had a fund-raising campaign launched on his behalf. Smalling guided the fledgling KISS from 1974 through their breakthrough with ALIVE! and Destroyer, and is perhaps most remembered for being the man who literally invented perhaps the most famous concert introduction in rock: KISS's famous "You wanted the best..." intro. It is Smalling's voice, in fact, who begins the band's 1975 double-disc Alive! Smalling was diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer in 2018. The outlook for that disease is dire with the average patient surviving anywhere from just six months to four years. Fortunately, Smalling's oncologists have found an aggressive treatment plan that has halted the disease's progress in its tracks. The downside is that the medication and associated costs are crippling. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO! KISS ARMY, if you have ever dropped the needle on a copy of KISS ALIVE, this means YOU!

Defibrillators: Defibrillators are shock application devices that correct life-threatening heart rhythm disorders such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Thanks to automatic external defibrillators (AED), which are available both in the hospital environment and in public areas, life-saving interventions can be made in case of sudden cardiac arrest.
