Event
A long time fan of Comedian Artie Lange, I read his book - Too Fat to Fish- and was touched by the love and respect he showed for his father. Artie expressed just how difficult it was to see his hero paralyzed.
I could personally related to his story. My brother, Adam Niskar, was involved in a diving accident in 1999 and became paralyzed.
Inspired by Artie's story, I wrote a letter asking him whether we might collaborate on an event that would promote his autobiography and also benefit my brother.
Days later, Artie called me personally. It was unbelievable, a true long shot. He offered to perform for free and I have arranged the event. My family and I are unbelievably grateful to Artie Lange and all those who support our mission and have helped make this event possible.

When: 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9. 2009
