In 2013, Deb Hubsmith was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The 44-year-old founder of Safe Routes to School National Partnership and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition recently underwent a bone marrow transplant at Stanford Medical Center and is expected to recover. Of course her medical bills threaten to be a debilitating expense, so the community is stepping up with a multi-venue benefit in Fairfax on May 16 featuring 15 bands at three popular clubs. All proceeds are going to help Hubsmith in her time of recovery. The benefit shows take place on Friday, May 16, at 19 Broadway Club (19 Broadway Blvd., Fairfax), the Sleeping Lady (23 Broadway Blvd., Fairfax) and Peri’s Silver Dollar (29 Broadway Blvd., Fairfax). 8pm. $20.
