Rodger Hara rounds up some of the Regional talent offering for May —
Angus Mohr shares their time and lends their talent to help raise money for ten-year-old Max Watson, the first of fourteen patients identified with a newly discovered metabolic disorder Cobalamin X. From birth, Max has faced developmental challenges including an inability to walk or stand. Because his condition compromises his immune system, Max attends fourth grade via a remote classroom. His family cares for him in their home, moving Max many times each day to ensure that his life is as rich and full as possible. They play a benefit show for Give Max a Lift, from 2 – 6 PM on the 31st at Defy! CrossFit, 6850 W. 116th Ave, Unit A, in Broomfield.
