The singer has listed the bike for auction on eBay, with all proceeds going to Andrew’s Warriors, a charity to help a 10-month-old boy with Central Core Disease.

Don't worry if you can't donate a thousand dollars, every little bit helps. In fact, you can donate as little as $30 on my online donation page.

But don't do it because I'm asking you to. Do it because the kids with MD need your help to find a cure.

We take for granted the ability to stand and walk, the ability to jump up and run to the fridge for ice cream on a hot afternoon, or the ability to grab our bicycle and go for a ride. We take these things for granted. But not everyone does.

ME!

Even better, guess who can help the MDA by paying my bail!

YOU!

Thank you, in advance, for your generous support!

We've all heard about Muscular Dystrophy, but do you really know what it is? MD is a group of diseases characterized by the progressive degeneration of voluntary muscles. It can really mess up a kid's life. Your support - by bailing me out of MDA Lockup - can make life with Muscular Dystrophy
