The Tawn Mastrey Foundation was created to make a lasting mark and a truly positive difference in helping to eradicate the Hepatitis C Virus and to stamp out the ignorance about this disease while raising critical awareness worldwide.
Tawn Mastrey, International radio legend known for decades, became a victim of Hepatitis C, (HCV), which took her early from us, devastating her family and millions of radio fans. Tawn and her sister Cara Mastrey, decided at that time, to create an organization that would change lives and help prevent further families from being destroyed by this insidious disease. Tawn contracted HCV accidently as a child and it remained undetected for over 30 years. Too late. HCV is currently at 500 million world wide, and is scheduled to take in 1 billion more by 2015 (.gov).
Because of Tawn's wishes, Cara Mastrey has continued Tawn's plans to spearhead the effort to save lives by raising HCV awareness, allaying ignorance about the virus through educational tools, and being a conduit to the public of the 'new' HCV private self test coming out this year. The statistics are overwhelming about HCV and suggest that many actually have the disease and are unaware. Unfortunately, they may not even know how they may have contracted it, as the disease can incubate inside the body undetected for decades.
Because of Tawn's many relationships with major rock superstars and musical performers throughout the years, came the idea of utilizing media tools through music, art, entertainment, and also major concert events both nationally and internationally. Tawn Mastrey said, "Rock Hard Live Long" and "Get Tested for HCV". TMF will be in the forefront of this amazing campaign and raising awareness to free the world of HCV - 'Slaying the Red Dragon'!
