A spaghetti lunch and singing fund raiser for Kevin Davidson is planned for Sunday, Feb. 15, at 12:30 p.m. at Caroleen United Methodist Church to raise money for Kevin Davidson. 

Davidson, 28, was born with tuberous sclerosis complex, a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form in many different organs of the body, especially the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. It is also the leading genetic cause of both epilepsy and autism. 

Due to this illness, he is currently on dialysis and in need of a kidney transplant. In the next few months he will have surgery to remove both kidneys. During this time he and his mother will have to remain in Charlotte for two weeks, and for another two weeks at the time of his transplant. 

“People with tuberous sclerosis can develop cysts in the kidneys, which can be large and cause potentially serious — even life-threatening — kidney problems. Cysts in the kidney can also cause bleeding or lead to kidney failure. Kevin has kidney failure due to this,” said his aunt, Carolyn Grason Smart. 

Some people with tuberous sclerosis have seizures. Kevin had a seizure late last year, making him unable to drive himself to and from dialysis. His father, Ernie, also requires care; funds raised from the meal and singing will cover the cost of his care as well as travel, food and accommodations for Kevin and his mother during the time he will be in Charlotte for surgery. 

The spaghetti lunch, which is by donation, will begin at noon, followed by a singing from 12:30 to 3 p.m. The singing will include In His Glory, Tom Hamrick, Lori Cudd and Byron Cole.
