After completing the Guns n' Roses European tour singer Axl Rose made a surprise visit to the Teenage Cancer Trust Ward at the University College Hospital in London. It is reported that he thrilled the teen cancer patients with his visit.Teenage Cancer Trust Ward CEO Simon Davies is quoted as saying, "Axl spent time speaking with each of the patients individually asking about their diagnosis and treatment, and what they enjoyed doing when they were not in hospital. Speaking with patients after Axl's visit, I got a real sense of just how excited they were to have met him and how much it lifted their spirits."
The Teenage Cancer Trust provides services, education and support for the special age-related needs of teens diagnosed with cancer. The teen cancer charity hosts Teenage Cancer Trust Challenges such as the Roof of the World Trek - Tibet to Everest Base Camp and Trekking the Deserts and Dunes of Southern Morocco adventures as an escape and way to raise funds for the charity; The Teenage Cancer Trust Find Your Sense of Tumour weekend conferences; and the annual Teenage Cancer Trust week of rock shows at the Royal Albert Hall featuring great acts like The Who, Bloc Party and Razorlight.
1. Mr. Rose has a lot to give to this world, I know that and I am sure he does as well and he will carry a lot of work hopefully. On behalf of all the people he has touched with his presence, I would like to give him credit for that and a big thank you. (Thanks for coming to Madrid although you had a cold, sorry I missed you in Sweden).
I do hope and believe in Stem Cell research and I hope that Mr. Bush and others, unfortunately important figures in the world, open their minds and hearts and finally their power and pockets to enhance and speed up the research.
We should all be, in our way, as the late Christopher Reeve and others who sick or not have done their share.
