Cancer Hits Another Fellow Paintballer's Family

From PBJunkie.com

Quote:
Hey folks. The wife of a very active fellow Junkie has been diagnosed with Liver Cancer and needs help funding the treatment.

One of the largest vintage paintball patch collections (over 20 years of collection) including a functional
Line SI bushmaster has been added to the B/S/T to help raise the money.

I have added the patch collection by sheet with "Buy it Now" pricing for each item (ranging from $100 to $250) or the entire collection can be purchased (assuming all sheets/marker are still available) for $1,400 or $1,600 with the Bushie.

The family has asked for their privacy so the fellow Junkie will remain anonymous.

This effort to raise money for this family is being headed up by Rich "Junkie" Struth the founder and owner of PBJunkie.com. Rich will be handling all the money and ensuring it gets to the family himself.

I know there are members common between MCB and PBjunkie and thought I'd help pass the word. Here is the link to the thread on PBJunkie.com Wife of a junkie diagnosed with Cancer - PBjunkie.com

Thank you

Well everything that has been put up so far was amazingly purchased by one individual [MCB ID = PBChappy] [PBJunkie ID = Chappy] to the tune of $1600 in less than 5 minutes. Do not worry though there is more chances coming up to help a good cause and the chance to own some paintball history. I know of several more old school items that will be coming up including masks, paintguns, patches and much much more. I'll let you all know when the new stuff is added.

Thanks alot PBChappy for your generous contribution to this family's plight.

Very sorry to hear. With such a large community at risk, these things are indeed springing up more often. Condolences and prayers for them.

drg: while you may be right, this isnt the best place for a sounding board. Lets keep it positive.

You are right. I'll put a disclaimer ...

I'll get them up for you all to see plus I'm donating a portion of my patch collection to the cause that will be listed up within the next day.
