Rock icon Richie Sambora is auctioning tickets for his band’s upcoming New York City concerts to help a young girl battle a serious brain cyst.The Bon Jovi guitarist is working with a New York radio station to help the family of New Jersey high school student Kelly Mahon pay for their daughter’s massive medical bills. Sambora, who shares Mahon’s alma mater at Woodbridge High, will begin the bidding for the two Bon Jovi packages at $1,500 when the auction hits the radio airwaves tomorrow on New York’s rock radio station WPLJ. The lucky winner will receive tickets to the band’s upcoming concerts at Madison Square Garden next week, autographed memorabilia, and an invitation to meet Sambora backstage before the show begins. Mahon was left nearly incapacitated after complications followed a 14-hour operation last year to remove the cyst, leaving her dependent on a respirator and suffering from blurred vision. She remains hospitalized, although the doctors say her progress indicates she could return home very soon.
