September 11th is a day that will ring out in our minds each time it comes around.  This years date will be no different.  The spirit of those individuals that gave up the prospect of protecting their own safety to insure that others could make it out of such a terrible situation, is what the celebration is all about.

Rock For Sarah is a benefit held every year in honor of Sarah Amodei, a special little girl in Baltimore's metal community. Sarah was born September 27, 2000 and upon birth was diagonosed with Congenital Scoliosis, Congenital Heart Disease, Kyphosis (twisted spine), Spondylocostal Dystosis (Jarcho Levin Syndrome), Thoracic Insuffiency Syndrome, Restricted Lung Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension, and many others that are just too much to list. In December of 2002 Sarah underwent an FDA clinical trial study to have a titanium rib implanted on her right side. This helped to build her chest cavity so that her lungs would have room to grow. Every 4-6 months, Sarah’s family travels to the Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, as there are only 8 hospitals worldwide that perform the procedure Sarah needed. Sarah has since had two expansions of her right side and a new implant on her left side. This surgery is experimental and investigative so most insurances do not cover the cost of the surgery. The first implant was $138,425. Expansions thereafter cost between $25,000-$50,000.
