Hamilton helps cycle funds to MGH YouthCare

Though no one needs proof that the MGH "rocks," bassist Tom Hamilton of the legendary Boston band Aerosmith made it clear Jan. 31 with the donation of his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Upon accepting the donation of the motorcycle and other memorabilia, the Hard Rock Café in turn made a donation of $30,000 to MGH YouthCare, a Charlestown-based program that supports children and adolescents with Asperger's syndrome and related conditions. Through their summer camp, teen programs and group work, MGH YouthCare helps young people with autism spectrum disorders build important social skills. For more information about the program, access www.mghyouthcare.org.
