Mike Peters of the Alarm has been my friend for a very long time. He has also been a great friend to many other Temecula Valley residents like Don Harbour, who is responsible for so many recent appearances by Mike over the years right here in wine country.
Now, there is a chance for everyone who knows and loves Mike to do their part.
This is from BBC.com:
The frontman of a Welsh rock band says his future is uncertain after his rare aggressive cancer returned.
Mike Peters of The Alarm has appealed to people to become potential stem cell donors.
Peters, who was forced to cancel a US tour earlier this year due to his fast-growing lymphoma, was given the all-clear in September following experimental therapy at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.
But the 65-year-old has revealed it returned last month.

I knew Mike many years ago when he first got sick and the outlook was not good. But Mike persevered and through treatment and the most positive attitude that I have seen in my lifetime, Mike beat that cancer into remission.
That was decades ago. All those times you saw Mike Peters as the Alarm and one time fronting the band Big Country when he filled in for their lead singer who had passed way, he was keeping that illness at bay.
Now facing this battle again, Mike could use your help.

Mike Peters has beaten cancer before, and we hope that he will beat it again...the world would not be the same without his loving, positive presence. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers and do what you can to help.
He is a world wide treasure who we want and need to continue to inspire us all.
1 of 1 Mike and I in our younger years..
