Benefit gig for Charlie’s leg! – Tonight 7pm http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1471 http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1471#comments Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:54:36 +0000 rb http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1471  CHARLIE’S LEG

 So, basically, Charlie has a deformed leg, and if it isn’t operated on then he could develop arthritis and lots of pain. The PDSA can’t do the operation because they don’t have the necessary specialist or enough money for corrective surgery, so this gig is to help.
