Own Donald Trump's Guitar


That is so money

It took the persuasive power of Alias' Greg Grunberg to convince Donald Trump to take up finger-painting. It probably helped that it was for such a good cause.

Grunberg's son has epilepsy and saw different doctors and tried several medications over the course of a frustrating year-and-a-half. At the Division of Pediatric Neurology at UCLA he was finally was put on a combination of drugs that proved successful, and he now is almost seizure-free.

Grunberg has made it "his mission" to raise money for the The Pediatric Epilepsy Project at UCLA (PEP). Grunberg's latest effort is an auction of guitars hand-painted by celebrities.
Participating celebrities include, among many others, Jennifer Garner, Brian Wilson, Mick Fleetwood, and of course Donald Trump.

Trump's guitar is a Les Paul Junior, hand-painted with dollar signs, and autographed by the artist himself. More details about that 6-string:

This stripped-down classic rocker with an edgy tone was introduced in 1955. Features include a mahogany neck and body, rosewood 22-fret fingerboard, P-90 pickup, compensated wraparound bridge, and chrome hardware.


The auction ends on May first and bidding is in increments of $100. The current bid as of this writing is $1,050.00 which is "too low," but the auction has only just begun.

A more affordable way to help the cause is to purchase greeting cards designed by celebrities. Alas, Trump has not contributed one, at least not yet. However, unscripted dramas are represented by The Bachelorette's Trista and Ryan, American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, and Celebrity Mole Hawaii winner Kathy Griffin.

I have an 8 year old son as well...with the same type of epilepsy as Greg Grunberg's son. I would be very interested to learn about the doctor treating his son and about the medication Keppra. That is a medication we have not tried. My son experiences up to 40 seizures per day...even while he is on anti-seizure medication. He is currently taking Zarontin and Lamictal twice daily.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Bobbi
