The For Callum double CD compilation which was released on Catlick Records to raise money for the care of Callum Robbins, the son of J Robbins and Janet Morgan from Channels, is now also available from the Dischord web-store.

This 32 track double CD features Dischord bands Channels, Medications, Joe Lally along side bands like Mission of Burma, Jawbreaker, Pilot to Gunner, Travis Morrison, Archwelder and many more.

About this compilation:
Approximately 6 months prior to Callum's first birthday, he was diagnosed with with a genetic motor neuron disease called Type 1 SMA, or Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Although conventional medicine is frequently covered by insurance, alternative procedures & therapies are not. As Janet & J. pursue all available courses of treatment for Callum, the need for additional funds has become increasingly urgent.

The Cultural Society, Catlick Records, & Letterbox compiled this collection of songs in order to raise money for Callum's care fund. Proceeds will go directly to Janet & J. to help ensure that they have sufficient resources to continue their search for effective, lasting treatment. Though our energies here are focused on the plight of our friends, it should be noted that a cure for Callum could also mean a cure for the other thousands of babies who suffer from SMA.
