My name is Kristen and I have been a fan of Layne's for a number of years. The point of this myspace is to remember Layne for the talent, and wonderful person he was.
The main reason I wanted to do this was to spread the word about the Layne Staley Fund around and help as many people deal with Layne's passing and their own problems.
Also this is a safe haven for fans to come and talk about Layne, Mad Season or AIC.
*::My Story::*
I was 15 when Layne left us, and it still hurts to this day. I never met Layne, but he and AIC helped me through a rough time in my life while I was growing up. Layne's voice was a soothing one for me when I would cry at night because I was getting beat up in school for being different.
So I encourage you to go to LayneStaleyFund.com and help out.
Also, check out the new myspace site- http://www.myspace.com/LayneStaleyFundcom
Here is what the Fund is about (Taken from the site):
''Layne Staley Fund, a non-profit 501(c)(3) created in 2002, provides hope, education, support and treatment funds for heroin recovery in the Seattle music community.
Seeking to turn the tragedy of Layne's death into hope for those that suffer. Layne Staley Fund uses donated funds and proceeds from the sale of merchandise and tribute revenues to support local chemical dependency facilities, drug education and outreach programs. We work with fans and musicians to raise funds for community heroin recovery programs.''
Disclaimer: This is NOT the official myspace for the fund, or anything else. It is just a fan space.
