A few years ago, they were playing in the horn section of the orchestra at Rutgers, studying music and making it as they went along.

Then Deryck Clarke fell sick with a degenerative liver condition that required a transplant.

His section buddy Mike Sayre turned out to be a perfect match.

Yesterday, they both underwent surgery for Mike to give part of his liver to Deryck.

Some help is still needed in fundraising. Click here.
