The reigning XRCO performer of the year, Nikki Hunter, is fighting lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. What is lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma? It is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, which gets worse if not treated promptly. Nikki does not have health insurance and to make sure she receives the best healthcare possible, Sardo's owner, Seymour Satin, with the help of industry figures such a Tony Batman, Ginger Lynn, and more put together a fundraiser at last night'sweekly porn star karoaoke for Nikki. 85% of the bar's procedes last night went to Nikki's healthcare fund.
Items were auctioned and raffled off to raise money for Nicki in her battle. FreePornStarPix.com donated a new Ipod. Tod Hunter and spouse donated wine. Seymour's yoga teacher donated a free session. Ginger Lynnauctioned off dinner with herself and Kylie Ireland(click), while Amber Peach and Cleopatra of the Nile did the same. Other generous people also donated gifts.
Thank you to all who participated!
Direct from Nikki's husband Josh is information on how you can help:
To anyone looking for a way to contribute, I would ask that you CALL ME BEFORE YOU GIVE ANYONE MONEY!!! I hate to have to say it, but experience has taught me that there are a lot of snakes in our industry who would take advantage of my wife's illness to make some extra money for themselves. And you have my word that any money we receive through these means will go to legitimate bills only. The first time we were asked about fundraisers, Nicki and I promised each other we would not misuse one dime of your money. But, honestly, the best way to help without having to worry about that kind of thing would be to hire us. Nicki and I do our own lighting, video, stills, editing and makeup. And we really are good at our jobs. Given the option, I would much rather work seven days a week than take money from charities, but I love my wife. Nicki has been my best friend since we were children. February 23rd will be our 10th anniversary, and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure she's here for our 20th. Thank you all.
