    Wonderful that people do mind for such a important thing. There’s has to be a lot of research for this terrible disease to be destroyed as soon as possible.
    I’m from the Netherlands and I want to wish the Boyz good luck. I hope seeing you live once in near future. Can’t wait to hear your new album, your dedication for Steo, who passed away so young!
