Press Release Body: World music artist Rhida will once again bring his original
style of entertainment to the virtual stage as a part of the "Second Life Relay for
Life" Sun March 30. Rhida is expected to hit the Stage on The Island of Hiriam for
the fund raiser at 3 PM Second Life time. Rhida, who has been a perennial favorite
of the digital medium's audience, is expected to draw large numbers to the venue and
the event promoters are hoping with his help to so surpass donations from previous
SLRFL gatherings.

Those wishing to make a donation can do so at the official RLF kiosk located at the
venue during Rhida's performance.

The Tunisian Born musician is donating his performance to benefit the "Relay for
Life" cause, which has raised money for cancer research nationwide. Now through the
efforts of a medium that knows no geographic boundaries, SLRFL realizes donations
from contributors worldwide.

Last year residents of the virtual community raised $118,000 for RLF.

Relay for Life has been raising money in the interest of cancer awareness and
research by sponsoring events in communities around the United States. Most of these
gatherings consist of entertainment and information booths surrounding a walking
event where participants are sponsored with the commitment of donations. The parades
are typically made up of cancer patients, survivors and their family and friends.

In Second Life, however, the traditional RFL event is given a digital twist where
those that may not be able to attend the traditional fundraiser can participate from
home, office, or wherever they can find a computer and an Internet connection.

Second Life is a digital universe accessed by millions of users usually via personal
computers. The Second Life world is broken up into many individual communities most
of which are open to the general public. Each area features the efforts of 3D
builders and artists that range from the breathtaking to the bizarre.
