Dario Carrasco launched his most ambitious campaign this year at a Comic & Toy Expo that was held in Calgary on September 30, 2007. He’s continuing on this fall at Pop Culture Fair in Edmonton on October 21st. Last year he launched the campaign to help his uncle Francisco who suffered of Kidney Failure. He was able to raise $500 and went to his uncle’s required surgery. It was succesful.

This time all the proceeds that come from the sale of T-shirts, comics and silent auction go to two charitable goals.

First Goal: he is continuing his support to his uncle Francisco who passed away on August 8th. It was a great loss for Dario since he dedicates this year’s campaign to his uncle. The campaign is just a grasp away to help Francisco cope up with the costly dialysis treatments. Although the help didn’t make it on time, whatever proceeds Dario can get from the Silent Auction and comics, will go to Francisco’s family.

Second Goal: a good friend of Dario, Lorenzo Vergara, was battling cancer since February 2007 when he was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Due to his relentless treatment and radiation schedule, he was out of work ever since. Dario and some friends of Lorenzo wanted to help him by donating the proceeds from the sales of the t-shirt campaign. While the t-shirts are being printed in mid-August, the hardship and pain took its toll on Lorenzo. He passed away peacefuly in August 17th. It was a great loss to his family and to all his friends. The proceeds from the T-shirts now will go to his children trust fund. You can read about him at Legacy.com
