HELP A ROBOTECH FAN IN NEED

This was just posted on Robotech.com

Claudio PSX, the host of Spanish language talk show Resident Hit, is currently undergoing chemotherapy in his battle against cancer.

You'd never know it from his teddy bear looks, but the voice of "Claudio PSX" is known among local fans for his beloved teen show "Resident Hit" of FM Hit Radio, in which he hosted discussions of anime, videogames, movies, and television for almost six years across the Chilean airwaves. Claudio has been a Robotech fan ever since he was a kid and he frequently commented about the series on his radio show , introducing new generations to the story of Robotech.

In 2007, Claudio was diagnosed with cancer, and he is currently undergoing chemotherapy to fight the spread of the deadly tumor. For this reason, a benefit auction is being held from January 7th through the 21st to raise funds to help cover the expenses of the treatment.

Three items are going to be auctioned. All the articles are completely new:

- Art of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles
(signed by Carl Macek and Tommy Yune)

- Marcus' keychain pendant (Shadow Chronicles)
(signed by Tommy Yune)

- Robotech: From The Stars graphic novel in English
(signed by Tommy Yune)

The auction will be online only (the website is in Spanish, but the product descriptions are in both English and Spanish) and anyone registered on the site can participate, no matter what country you're from.

If you want to participate in the auction but you don't know the change between US dollars and Chilean pesos, all you have to do is Google "Dollars to Chilean pesos" or "Chilean Pesos to Dollars" and you will get an approximated result.

Claudio is really touched by the support that the Robotech community has given him, and he wants to send all of you a great hug to everyone for your great heart.
