Hey everyone. This is Stephen from The Genesis Show. It has been a while since we have posted anything. We wanted to share something a good friend and supporter of ours is doing. Joseph Grillo participates in this hockey cancer fundraiser every year. And this year Joseph is playing and fundraising in honor of our singer Jeff Giuliani who passed away in November from a short and brutal battle with cancer. It is hard to put into words how devastating of a loss this has been for all of us. To say the last 12 months have been difficult would be an understatement. Jeff and I have been the best of friends and musical partners for almost 40 years. It is still hard to imagine a world without him. As we all know, sometimes life likes to kick you when you are already down.
Right after Jeff died I was diagnosed with cancer myself. I kept it quiet because I am a fairly private person and was still grieving from losing Jeff. I could barely process Jeff's death let alone my own diagnosis. The good news I underwent surgery and treatment over the last few months and am recovering well. I just had my 3 month PET Scan and exam last week and I have been declared cancer free. So while I am thankful and grateful for having beat cancer, I and the rest of the guys in the band are still grieving and processing this all. There is nothing more I could say about cancer that hasn't already been said. It is an awful disease that doesn't discriminate. So if you are inclined to, please consider making a donation in honor of Jeff. Joseph really works hard every year fundraising for this cause and I don't think anyone can say they don't have a friend or loved one affected by cancer. This hits home for everyone.
On a different note, stay tuned...band updates and announcements will follow shortly!
