Jennifer Finch L7 is drawing broad support after a recent brain cancer diagnosis left the bassist unable to join L7 on the Last Hurrah Tour. The GoFundMe set up for her medical treatment had reached $365,382 at the time of writing, more than the $350,000 goal.
Tool, Pearl Jam, Korn
Members of Tool, Pearl Jam, Korn, Garbage, Fugazi and Bikini Kill made donations to the campaign, turning a private medical fight into a public test of how quickly the music community can mobilize around one of its own. The fundraiser was created on July 13 to help cover treatment expenses.
Jennifer Finch, 59
Finch is 59 and a Californian musician, but the detail that matters most now is practical: she is undergoing treatment and will not take part in the tour scheduled to move through North America later this year. The money already raised gives her a wider cushion for care, and it also shows that this is not a small circle of support but a cross-band response.

Finch urged her bandmates to continue without her while she receives medical care, a choice that keeps L7 moving even as her role shifts off the road. The unfinished business is her treatment itself, along with the fact that the campaign’s total will keep rising only if that support continues to hold.
