Get Involved, Internet: Help L7's Jennifer Finch fight brain cancer

One of the most successful and beloved all-female rock bands of the 20th century, L7 inspired countless would-be rockers to grab guitars and express themselves. An early driving force of the grunge scene with hits like “Pretend We’re Dead” and fondly admired for throwing tampons at aggressive Reading Festival goers while yelling, “Eat my used tampon, fuckers,” L7 are legends, and now one of the band needs our help. 

Longtime bassist Jennifer Finch announced today she has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. After a full course of radiation, a GoFundMe posted on behalf of the musician explains, “unforeseen complications led to multiple surgeries and a string of difficult setbacks.” As a result of the treatments, Finch has been left with “significant limitations” physically that require round-the-clock in-home assistance. 

Finch’s family, friends, band, and loved ones are looking to raise money for the following: in-home nursing care, physical and speech therapy, home-care expenses, and recoupment of out-of-pocket medical and legal expenses. The fundraiser will also go towards an archive of Finch’s artistic contributions and the completion of a “significant creative project” scheduled to release next year. Since launching earlier today, the GoFundMe has raised $124,000 of its $350,000 goal.
