From the Known Gallery website:

“In 2003, “Tempt” was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and resulting in paralysis. For the past year, Tempt has been courageously battling this disease in the hospital. Those who love and care for him are filled with the hope that he can return home to the loving care of his family. This will undoubtedly lift his spirits and strengthen his will to continue to fight this war against ALS. However, due to the seriousness of this disease he will need special medical attention, around the clock nursing and equipment to sustain him in a home environment.

In order to make this vision a reality, we are organizing an Art Show featuring some of the world’s most prolific Graffiti Artists, who have agreed to donate all of the proceeds from their work to raise funds to provide Tempt with the care he will require at home. If you would like to register to donate a piece of artwork for this event please go to: www.knowngallery.com/temptone. Unfortunately not all submissions will make this show due to limitations on space in gallery.

On behalf of Tempt, his family and his friends, we thank you for your generous support and for your love.”
