Thank you all sincerely!!!
Good luck!!
Update 6-7-11 !NEW PRIZE ADDED! - now TWO winning numbers will be drawn!
A new prize in addition to the T-1 has been added to the raffle:
In support of this raffle, Redback One is graciously providing an RB1 gift certificate good for any RB1 one or two-day open enrollment class (a $400-$450 value) to another raffle winner.
The only restriction is that the course selected by the winner is suitable based on skill level. The gift certificate is transferable, so if the winner cannot make use of it, he can sell it.
A big THANK YOU to Redback One for their generous support of the M4C community!
I talked with John last week. He’s in for a rough time for a while. Both legs were broken, one was crushed and will require multiple surgeries to stabilize and heal.
They won’t let him put any weight on his legs for at least a couple months.
His wife lost her leg below the knee.
John’s young son Will is staying with relatives, and visiting his parents in separate medical facilities as he can. He’s a strong young man, but it’s still very hard on the whole family.
This will be a very long road to recovery for both John and Sherry, anything we can do to help is greatly appreciated.
Note to the mods/staff. I added my M4C screen name in the comments field. I am familiar with Paypal’s open hatred of anything firearms related. So it might be wise to be pretty discreet about the raffle in the comments, and just include a screen name, and not mention this website or such.
I’d hate to see a terrific, helpful thing get messed up by some goofy Paypal foolishness.
Again, best wishes and prayers that John and his wife heal swiftly.
As a motorcycle rider and a police officer, this situation makes me cringe! I have seen several motorcycle crashes, some fatal, more last summer than in my entire 13 year career. I wish John and his wife a quick recovery and I hope the a**wipe that hit them rots in prison. Donation sent.
Edit: I forgot to add my screen name. PayPal e-mail address is PaFiveo93@aol.com.
I’ll be talking with John later on today. As I’ve said, he can’t put any load on his legs, so he’s confined to a bed, or if he goes anywhere, he’s in traction.
Here’s John and Sherry enjoying a ride a few days before they were run down.
John and Sherry, and their son Will, who’s handling having both parents torn up like a trooper.
