This event is for the Merker Family! As most people who have listened to Brisbane Heavy Music for a time will have at least heard some of the work Adam has done, it's time for us to give back.
Kalan Merker is 10 years old, and like many other young people in Australia, has been diagnosed with Autism. While Autism support is available to people like Kalan, it tends to be quite expensive and though families like the Merkers do receive government funding to provide care for their children, it doesn't go very far. Enough to cope, but no where near enough for people like Kalan to strive for the best quality of life they can achieve.
Because of this, and the lack of services in Australia that are ahead of the curve, Nicole and Adam Merker have decided to take their family to the U.S to have Kalan participate in the Neuro-Fit Autism Program. This program has started in Brisbane, however like many parents, Adam & Nicole want the very best for their son.
So all proceeds from this event will go to the family so that Kalan may access the program!
