HIMYM Cast Had Fundraising Parties on Set After Co-Creator's Son Was Diagnosed with Rare Disorder. It's Now a Fan Event (Exclusive)
Ahead of a benefit concert featuring music from the show and participation from former cast members, series co-creator Craig Thomas and star Josh Radnor tell PEOPLE about how the 'How I Met Your Mother' crew has continued to come together after Thomas' son's unexpected diagnosis. The pair also praise Dr. Paul Grossfeld's research.
In the years since the show concluded its nine-season run in 2014, the fundraising effort has been opened up to the iconic sitcom's fandom through a live charity concert where Thomas and fellow co-creator Carter Bays perform How I Met Your Mother songs with their band, The Solids. Thomas points out that it's "hard to find funding for research for rare syndromes," but that hasn't stopped him and Dr. Grossfeld's fight, which was commemorated in a big way on How I Met Your Mother's legendary Los Angeles-area set. How I Met Your Mother alums Josh Radnor(Ted Mosby), Ashley Williams(Victoria), Will Forte(Randy Wharmpess) and J.P. Manoux(Not Moby) were on hand to sing songs from the acclaimed sitcom with Thomas and Bays' band, The Solids.
