In light of the devastating bushfires we’re currently experiencing in Australia we’ve set up a Go Fund Me (link here below) and donated $50,000. We are calling on all PWD and metal fans alike around the world to help out in any way they can, even 50c will help. All proceeds will go to Australian Red Cross and WIRES Wildlife Rescue. These organisations are doing an amazing job and if you could find the time to donate, please do. Stay safe out there. Winston, Luke, Jeff, Ben, Jia. - www.gofundme.c
