Many know about my fabulous and wonderful friend, TJ, and her fabulous and wonderful sister, Tiffany's older brother that was diagnosed with a very aggresive form of leukemia a few months back. Tiffany (and TJ from far away) has been super busy organizing and carrying out many different benefits in order to raise money for Todd and his family. He still has a long road ahead of him and could use all the help he could get! Please pass this info along to all you know - especially those living out in southern CA!! Sounds like a fun time!!

Todd Rocks! Benefit Concert House of Blues Anaheim (Downtown Disney)
Dear Friends,
Late last fall, Todd Larsen, a young music teacher who just founded the Irvine Music Academy and a 14-year veteran coach in the 2,000+ member Irvine Swim League, was suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. In response to the shocking news, Larsen’s immediate, lengthy hospitalization, and in an effort to support Larsen’s wife and infant son, the OC community has rallied to raise funds to offset the costs of his expected year-long, aggressive cancer treatments.
On Monday, February 1st, the public is invited to support Larsen with a benefit concert at the House of Blues Anaheim (Downtown Disney). Hosted by KLOS-FM’s Uncle Joe Benson, the evening will feature special performances by Vivian Campbell, guitarist for Def Leppard and Whitesnake and Mark Schulman, the drummer for Pink, Beyonce, and Sheryl Crow; and Jon Abrams, the star of Broadway’s “Movin’ Out.”
In a unique way to help this beloved music teacher while gaining stage experience, young pupils from Larsen’s “School of Rock” at the IrvineMusicAcademy will headline the entertainment. Bands including 10 Fold, Chix Rule, Out of Order, and Vicious Beat are scheduled to perform. A live and silent auction and raffle will round out the evening’s entertainment. Further information and reservations are available at

Brothers are just supposed to pull the heads off of their sisters barbies, right? Well, Parker has already figured out at a young age how to torture his sister's dolls. This time, it is Chloe's Polly Pockets he finds so tasty!
