Update and Dojo art sale for #FranksFight
Hi Dojo readers,
I wanted to give you an update on Frank’s Fight. If you haven’t already read the story, along with how you can help, please click HERE and read about it.
We all know someone who’s been hit hard by the enemy known as cancer.
It’s hard to go through and even harder to watch someone you love go through it.
That’s why it’s so important that those fighting it receive support not just financially or medically, but also emotionally and spiritually.
The response to #FranksFight by the MMA community and beyond has been tremendous so far (click on the image for a higher-resolution version)…
…but Frank still has a long way to go and needs all the financial support he can get for his treatment!
Please keep tweeting, sharing, and donating (you can donate directly HERE)!
Frank and Wendy’s goal is $15,000. Please help them get there so Frank can focus on getting better rather than worrying about medical and living expenses!
To help them reach their goal, Disciple Dojo will be donating 30% of any original MMA portrait sold from the gallery to Frank’s Fight. So please go take a look at my work and click on any image in the gallery to see if the original is for sale. To purchase any of them, email me directly via the contact form on the right hand side of the page.
Also, I will be donating 50% of proceeds from sale of the following original pieces to Frank’s Fight! (click on the image for more info):
“One Who Serves” – Prismacolor (approx. 15.5″x24.25″) – $600
“Kami of the Rainbow” – Watercolor & tissue paper (approx. 10″x12″) – $250
Even if you cannot afford either of these or any of the other pieces, please continue to keep Frank and his family in your thoughts and prayers and continue supporting #FranksFight and spreading the word!
Blessings from the Dojo (particularly to Frank),
JM

Kat, your son has been an inspiration to many people around the world and Disciple Dojo is honored to be able to help in whatever way we can. Your family is in our prayers and if you or Frank & Wendy ever need anything that a minister/artist/Bible geek such as myself can provide, please don’t hesitate to ask!
