Please go to THIS THREAD and leave a note for Mikey.

If there was ever a time for us to "grab another gear" and get going, it's now. I know that this topic was where he hung out most of the time. Please read this post and reply with some support.

Please do this today...

(If you do nothing else, please read Farmer's note on the last page.)

It wasn't easy to find in 25 pages (at this moment) of posts. It is post #472. I agree, if you do nothing else...READ that post. All of this (that) is a great tribute. This is a wonderful thing you've done, Jim.

RACE ON!!!

Jim,

thanks for letting us know over here.

Wasn't his forum name Hogsmack? I remember meeting them both at the first Cruise-In.... they are a great couple! I'm hopping over to the other thread now to leave some words. I hope I can find something to say.

"I need a favor"

Please respond now, it will be lie you are there with the visitors as they look at all the posts with Mike!

While the four of us didn't discuss it, I felt like we weren't just there by ourselves, we were there representing all of you who have been so supportive of this cause!

It is pretty clear though that Mike's future lies in the power of the Father and the will of the individuals, being Mike and Anne.

The doctors have said they have done all they can.

So, we ask you to redouble your efforts! Pettition the Father and nourish the will of the individuals by leaving posts in the Southeast Events section of the Forum in Jim's post " I need a favor"

Mike and Anne read those posts everyday and they wanted to be sure that we thanked each and everyone of you for your prayers and support

Mojo, Frank, has put together a fantastic video of many of the actibities Forum Members have shared with Mike and Anne. If you have never met them, this is an excellent opportunity to get to know them the way so many of us have, It too is in the Southeast Events Section "this is for you Mikey", While you are there, please leave a message and check out the "I need a Favor" thread
Thanks

Jack

Mikey's mom told me that the first thing he does in the morning is read the forum posts. It's nice to know that this gearhead's forum is really, REALLY making a difference in someone's life...
