Help me help a young boy fight cancer

[wfschrec]

Folks,

I know some of you have seen this already here:

http://syracusefan.com/threads/ot-but-worthwhile.84472/

But I am starting a new thread with a new title based on a recommendation from a member of the forum since the title I used was not very descriptive. My friend is a single father and his 13 year old son is battling a brain tumor and I am attempting to help them raise money to pay for treatments and medications. I started a gofundme site for anyone that cares to donate (several on this board have and I myself contributed $350) and we have hit the 10% mark. The goal is to raise at least $8K to help cover the costs of medication and treatments that he will undergo for the next several months. The site is here:

If I can get 800 donations of $10 I would reach this goal. Thanks to all that have participated and helped and sorry if this thread is redundant. Happy New Year Everyone!

-Bill

Glad you reposted, I never saw the original post.

Thanks! Yeah a fellow poster recommended I change the title so more would see it. Unfortunately I used a nebulous subject line and while several did see it I think many glanced over. His recommendation was spot on ... thanks Roger for the idea!

Many thanks to Joyce, Peggy, Bob and DC! We have hit 12.5%!

Thank you very much pace and Crusty thank you too!

Up to 14.7%! Thanks all for your support thus far.

I spoke with Todd yesterday (the boy's father) his son isn't in the best of spirits but will be going for testing soon. He appreciates what everyone has done, it is my hope we can raise at least 5K by the end of the month so that I can help him get to at least March or April based on his expenses. I will be circulating this link out and if any of you know of anyone who traditionally donates please don't hesitate to pass along the URL.

With a few more donations today we have hit the 20% mark ... simply amazing! Thank you to each and every one of you!

Thanks so much to Dave W for the latest donation. Sorry for the delay Dave .. I was on travel and hadn't logged into gofundme in quite some time. As an update it looks like Todd's son will be going back for surgery number 2 next month, hopefully this one will be less invasive and I will keep you all posted as I am not sure on all the details yet. For anyone looking to donate myself and the family truly appreciates it ... I know they have a long fight ahead. As an aside my sister will know the results of her treatment schedule on Wednesday and will know whether or not she will be in remission ... any and all prayers are welcome. Thanks so much to all of you!

I just noticed this was no longer pinned, if anyone is still willing to help out as always it would be appreciated ... I still have a long way to go so I just have to keep pushing, hoping and praying. Thanks to all who have contributed thus far!
