JG: Aidan's Monsters

So, I am currently buying a picture of Gill Man.  Not only is he my favorite character in the 80's classic The Monster Squad, but it is in support of possibly the coolest charity I've heard of (and I read about it first on Barstool of all places).  The charity, Aidan's Monsters, is to support Aidan, a 5-year old boy recently diagnosed with leukemia.  Below is a little more about him:

         "Aidan is no ordinary 5 year old boy, in fact he is quite extraordinary. What sets him apart from most kids is his love for all things scary. He loves monsters, clowns, drawing, and dressing up. He does not wait for Halloween to roll around to have an excuse to wear a costume. And you better believe while in costume he will break character for nothing.

             Another thing that makes Aidan different than most children is that on September 13, 2010 he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).  He was strong and pulled through his first round of chemo all while teasing his nurses and vistors. Although this was a small victory Aidan, unfortunately, must go through 2 to 3 more years of chemo treatments and everything that goes along with that."

After considerations to sell the house due to staggering medical bills, the family decided to start selling some of Aidan's absolutely fantastic drawings of monsters to help offset the impact of the costs.  The art is not only for a great cause, its all awesome as well.  

So far, he is reportedly doing well.  Though, just two weeks ago he was diagnosed with a Staph infection that is postponing his chemo for a month.  The charity is also thriving, gaining lots of popularity and significantly improving the family's situation.

Prints are 8.5x11 and are an absolute steal at just $12.00 American dollars.  I'm going to get Gill Man, but there's some pretty sweet ones, like this Mr. Potato Head.
