Cute kid. I've never won a dang thing in my life. A friend of mine won a 2000 vette and sold it to his dad. Couple years later, he won 10K from marlboro...
I posted the link to our ' general discussions ' email list here at my work. Lots of 'richies' here.
Good luck.
did I mention... cute kid?

I agree a million %. My bro and I have a small business where we take care of children with long term care. Our malpratic prem is 85k / year. Rediculous.

The Good Lord has blessed me with 3 wonderful and healthy children in addition to outstanding wife. That being aside, I can not think of a better way to help a child that has his whole life ahead of him. Here's hopeing all goes well and that God may grant your son a complete recovery.

Count me in, the check is in the mail.

race9899; Paypal should already be posted.

I thought this would be a tough sell to my wife. She just looked at me and said: "You thought you needed to ask me to help a child? Sheesh, buy the ticket already."

We will be praying for a speedy and safe recovery.

Take care.

Feb 23 will be as late as the Raffle will run, but we will only sell a max of 1000 tickets, so it could end sooner, We have sold 72 so far and we are only 10 days since we started. Local sales will begin next week. The dealership that is helping me is supposed to do some kind of local press release next week.

How many of us have made a purchase only later to realize that it was a dumb thing to do. Purchasing a raffle ticket so a young man has the chance to lead a normal life will make you feel good for a long long time. No regrets, I guarantee it.
