The Hog's Apothecary

08/20/2021

For those of you who were close to us at the Hog’s Apothecary, you may have met my very close friend Brian Caraway or his amazing partner and also close friend Alice Caraway at some point over the years. If you never had the pleasure, perhaps you remember the artwork with fondness; that was all his doing. The reason I’m writing to all of you after such a long silence is because his son (and my son’s best pal), Owen, was just diagnosed with a rare bone cancer called osteosarcoma which in a very short time has taken over most of one of his femurs and potentially spread elsewhere. It really sucks.

So instead of returning to the joy and clamor of live classes after over a year of at home study, Owen will spend the better part of this one undergoing chemotherapy and multiple surgeries. If the scourge of cancer has ever visited you or someone close, you know that the emotional and financial cost is devastating. If you do know the family or if you’re moved by their story, here’s where you can help.

Dearest Friends, Family, and Caring Community, We have created this… Family and Friends of the Caraways needs your support for Support Owen & The Caraways!

Join us tonight for the final Warriors game in The Town. The Oakland Arena, the oldest in the NBA, has housed our Warriors for fifty-three years. Through four championships, a handful of good runs, and a few dozen awful seasons we’ve watched games live or televised. Tonight is for the Oaklanders who suffered through most of the 80s,90s, & oughts to get here. Let’s bring home one more win before the West Bay gets them. Live @ 6 on the big screen.
