Just to let everyone know, The annual Greatest 5k Run Ever Has changed the date of the run to Saturday September 4th. It’s still at the Riverside Park in Grand Rapids and Bottoms Up is still Playing the event.

The Help Fight Scleroderma Foundation was created by the Brennan Family
as a means to raise awareness of Scleroderma in West Michigan. With the
help of friends, family, sponsors, and your support we are able to put on the
Grestest 5K Ever, Team HFS, and other exciting fund raisers. These events
raise awareness of this disease as well as money for support, education, and
research.
What is Scleroderma?
Scleroderma is a chronic, autoimmune connective tissue disease, and the
word scleroderma literally means “hard skin”. Common symptoms include
thickening and hardening of the skin, joint stiffness and pain and sensitivity to
cold in the extremities. Symptoms can also include damage to internal organs
making scleroderma a potentially fatal condition. Characteristics of the
disease include an over-production of collagen and damage to blood
vessels. Approximately 300,000 people in the United States suffer from
scleroderma. Scleroderma primarily affects women between the ages of 25
and 55. There is currently no known cause or cure.

Yesterday the world lost a true icon. To the realm of heavy metal music, there was no one better. Although we(bottoms up) were never blessed with the chance to directly play music with him or even get to open for him at one of his shows, each one of us can actually say that we feel as close to him and as much of a friend and “Fellow” musician as anyone. Just being blessed with the ability to play HIS songs in OUR band and OUR stage is MORE than we could ever have hoped for. Ronni, You have influenced so many people with your words and music. You can rest peacefully knowing that your inspiration,wisdom,influence and gratitude will live on forever in our minds. Your music will NEVER die. You are a true icon and our true friend. You ARE the Rainbow In The Dark!!!!
Rest In Piece Ronni James Dio.

Your friends and brothers from Bottoms Up

We will be back, ready to rock you like a hurricane . Keep a look out here and on our facebook and myspace pages for upcoming dates. We are constantly adding more dates to our list as they confirm.
