Eric Gast and FM World Charities
Music Producer Eric Gast started FM World Charities to help build medical clinics in under-served communities though out the world.
One of the goals of FM World Charities is to increase awareness of common, treatable illnesses among all populations. The most common causes of disease leading to death around the world are strikingly similar. Cardiovascular accidents (heart attack, stroke), neoplasm (cancers of all types), diabetes mellitus and infectious diseases are the most often seen.
FM World Charities works to provide adequate health care to help screen for common illnesses before they become life threatening. One concept they’ve developed is to provide screening sessions during concerts and other public events. FM was the first to do an on-site skin cancer screening on the Vans Warped Tour in 2008 - screening over 6000 teenagers and raising awareness for prevention.
