Imitation of Christ creator Tara Subkoff has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. The designer has acoustic neuroma and while the tumor is benign now, it will grow and be fatal in 2 years if left untreated. An operation is scheduled for August and to help pay for the costs (an 11 member neurosurgery team and up to a year of after care,) a silent auction will be held July 15th. Here is contact info for anyone who wants to donate:
