Black Belt Eagle Scout is seeking funds for medical aid after coming down with nervous-system symptoms that may point to relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, she says. Katherine Paul, the singer-songwriter behind the project, has canceled all of her shows on the advice of a neurologist. Writing on social media, she pointed to a GoFundMe to help with “living, medical and other expenses for a while.” The GoFundMe campaign is aiming to reach $75,000.
Paul explained on social media:
The GoFundMe adds that, after Paul’s “debilitating and frightening medical emergency,” a series of MRI tests suggested the diagnosis. “She is currently seeing a top neurologist at the Virginia Mason Multiple Sclerosis Center in Seattle, WA, where she is undergoing more testing and will receive care. As per her neurologists instructions, she is to rest and focus on her healing and recovery.”
Black Belt Eagle Scout released her latest LP, The Land, the Water, the Sky, in early 2023, embarking on tour dates around the world before support slots this year with Sleater-Kinney. The pulled dates include an appearance with Watchhouse that was scheduled to take place this Saturday at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.
