Now Or Never 2008 is a charity event with 100% of the proceeds going to the FealGood Foundation (http://www.fealgoodfoundation.com/), a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading awareness as to the catastrophic health effects on 9/11 first responders and helping to assist them. Thousands of people who bravely helped to recover survivors of the 9/11 attacks are suffering serious health problems from the toxic debris of Ground Zero.

Now or Never 2008 will have films on 9/10, a vigil on 9/11 that they have been doing for several years now, and speakers and a Hip Hop Benefit show on 9/12 featuring artists like Saigon and speakers like former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the current Green Party candidate for President.

If you can't attend the event, you can still make a contribution that will go directly to assist first responders, via the Fealgood Foundation. John Feal is a first responder who runs this foundation and he is so dedicated to helping other first responders that he gave one of his kidneys to a man in need. Can you give something to help?

will this affect those (above) average citizens who simply volunteered and suffered the same things?

I don't know the answer to that question TT. I'll take a look at the Fealgood Foundation web site and try to find out.

Sorry, but I couldn't find the answer to that.
