Over $164,000 Was Raised For Bo Lueders’ Funeral Expenses, Extra Funds To Be Donated To Chicago Mental Health Services

As previously reported, a GoFundMe was recently launched to assist with funeral expenses for late Harm’s Way guitarist Bo Lueders. The campaign proved to be a success with over $164,000 being raised. As such, the extra money will be going towards mental health services in Chicago, IL.

Lueders’ HardLore podcast co-host Colin Young (Twitching Tongues) commented:

“Thank you all so much for taking the time to read and to donate, it means the world to me and Bo‘s family/friends. I went for a walk immediately after creating this page, and by the time I looked at my phone again, you had all exceeded the goal tenfold.

With the donation goal automatically updating throughout that duration, I quickly rounded down the current amount to end the goal… and then you all just kept donating. We cannot thank you enough for this beautiful outpouring of love and support for our sweet Bo throughout these darkest of days.

We’ve decided to stop any future donations, and guarantee that a LARGE portion of what has been donated will be redistributed to various mental health services in the Chicagoland area. Thank you all.
