*Local youth showcase talent to benefit boy struck by lightning*



Twelve-year-old Ethan Kadish was enjoying playing frisbee last summer at a
camp in Indiana when he was struck by lightning with no warning. Ethan has
suffered severe brain damage. He is now 13, and his situation is still very
serious. His brain is struggling to make new connections, and he has a very
long road ahead. He is fighting to regain the ability to walk and talk.



Friends who know Ethan and his family and many others touched by this
random tragedy wanted to find a way to help. Alex Berko, a Solon High
School senior who was born in Cincinnati and whose family has been friends
with the Kadishes for many years; and Greg Davidson, a Solon High school
freshman who has spent many summers at Goldman Union Camp Institute, the
same camp Ethan attended, wanted to do something concrete to help Ethan's
recovery.

The event will take place Sunday, February 9, 2014at Anshe Chesed Fairmount
Temple, 23737 Fairmount Boulevard at 7:30pm. The concert is free to attend
but donations are strongly encouraged.



Ethan's family learned that his yearly medical expenses could top $1
million. To assist with the immense task of financing uninsured therapies,
home modifications and other injury-related expenses, a fundraising
campaign in Ethan's honor has been established with HelpHOPELive
(*http://www.helphopelive.org/
<http://www.helphopelive.org/>*.) All contributions are tax deductible and
will support HelpHOPELive, part of the Great Lakes Catastrophic Injury
Fund, a non-profit organization that is helping Ethan's family.
