Walking on to UCLA's Schoenberg Hall for the 18th Art of the Brain, the first AOB without Judi or Roy, we didn't know what to expect, will this be the last one, will all the strong supporters come out on a cool LA night and continue the fight against brain cancer?

 |
| Not as many friends of AOB showed up but it was an amazing, energy filled night, Roy would have described it as terrific... |
 |
| with amazing doctors, researchers, supporters, and survivors, Judi too would have loved it... |
 |
| Judi's legacy, her fight, continues to save others... |
 |
| last year's AOB was also an amazing night... |
 |
| it would be some of the last moments any of us would spend with Roy... |
 |
| Roy's last AOB was a real high note, a show of support for Judi, and support for Judi was al Roy wanted... |
 |
| after 18 year AOB has raised about $10 million dollars to battle brain cancer... |
 |
| we need to turn the corner on this disease... |
 |
| we no longer have two of the biggest backers of brain cancer research... |
 |
| we only have each other now... |
 |
| and love, after all what else is there? |
