I think what your doing is great. If I wasn't strapped at the moment, I'd buy one. I may after the holidays if they all haven't sold.

Hope things work out well for Tucker with this.

I work at Integris which runs the Coclear Implant Clinic in OKC. My wife and another Vette owners wife both work over there. We have been sending emails to Corvette clubs and asking them to forward to their members.

Could you all do the same?

Also if you look on the site you now find the ability to just donate and not buy a ticket. So those of you who live where raffles are not legal still can participate. Also those of you who do not have $100 can give what you are able to.

Delete that last sentence - a Vette owner without a spare $100?? Not likely!

Also us C4 guys and gals need to pick it up a little. The response in the C5 and C6 is about 3 times what it is here!! And no bumps or reponses for a couple of days. Can't have that!

This is a slow time of year for my skatepark business. Partially I'm sure because people here are still recovering from rita. All I can really afford right now is my prayers. Just thought I'd let you know you and your son will be in ours.

This article 'My Bionic Quest for Boléro' may appeal
to you and others with an interest in recent advances
in Cochlear Implant technology.

There are alot of people (even Corvette owners) who cannot afford $100 particularly this time of year. Prayers for Tucker and Help spreading the word about the raffle is alot of help and Greatly appreciated.

Thanks I enjoyed the read. I spoke with a woman with an implant who told me that music that she did not know the words to was frustrating because she could not distinguish the singing in music. So she listens to music she knew before she went deaf.

I experience progressive hereditary loss. It is not
severe enough to warrant an implant, but I miss my
music, too. And many other sounds, as well.

Are non-US citizens (such as Canadians) eligible to win?

Yes, I have one out country purchase so far.

I have some hearing loss myself. We will be in the booth testing with Tucker and everyone is supposed to respond when they hear the noise, that is so Tucker knows he is supposed to respond. Well there are alot of times every one else is responding and I did not hear a thing.

Jeff.
