CB Fights Leukemia in memory of MuseAV!

Donating has slowed so I'm breaking the TOS rules to bump this to the top of the forum. This would have driven Brad crazy because he always argued that we needed well written TOS rules that were evenly enforced. Sorry dude...
 
Done! This is actually the third time this year that I've donated. My father was just given his clearance a couple of months ago that he his numbers are back to normal. He is taking part in a trial for a new drug that worked wonders! His numbers spiked extremely quickly as it was very aggressive. He immediately went on the trial and everything leveled out just as quickly and slowly started returning to normal. It then took about 1.5 years to return to normal. Obviously it isn't gone, but he is back to a normal life. He is getting his treatment at Morton Plant in Tampa.
 
Done. I actually had a really hard time condensing what I wanted to say down to a sentence or two. Brad joined in July of 2007 and immediately took to the community like a duck to water. His posts from years ago still get likes today, which is really cool, because it shows his posts are still being read by members and visitors today and will continue for years and years to come.
 
I just traded a couple of wonderful messages with Brad's wife Lory. I want you to know that her, as well as Brad's mom, have been amazed at the outpouring of kind words from all of Brad's friends in cyber space. They couldn't believe how many "strangers" went out of their way to say some kind words about Brad. When we started our little fundraising drive here, we really blew her away. She says that as our donations rolled in, the Leukemia organization in Atlanta called her up to ask "What is this Controlbooth.com?"

If you haven't donated yet, Lory needs $540 more to meet her goal. If you've been on the fence about donating why not do it now? Click here to donate.
 
Thanks for the reminder bump, I had started to fill out the form before and got sidetracked with work. I had a good friend lose his dad to cancer earlier this year and my wife's uncle is now a survivor in full remission from some really traumatic blood cancer, I can only guess but I would hope that programs such as this one help make that possible for more and more people. Glad to help support a cause like this in any way, especially in honor of a fellow booth member like @museav.
 
And now even closer to her goal.
 
:dance: :discoball::dance: Lori has reached her fundraising goal and from what I can tell we are responsible for more than half of the money she raised. Thanks guys, I'm really proud of this community.

However, just because she reached her goal doesn't mean you have to stop contributing. It turns out the walk she is raising money for isn't until October. She started collecting money early, not expecting CB to jump in and take care of business so quickly. So that means there's still plenty of time to join in and I'm sure that the good folks a the Leukemia Lymphoma Society would happy to have a little extra money to help battle this terrible disease. So don't be shy click the link and contribute!
 
Today is the one year anniversary of MuseAv's passing. Lory, his wife, is still raising funds for Light the Night, a fundraising walk happening in October 2015.
 
I was just looking at the long list of comments at the bottom of the donor page with so many wonderful thoughts from my CB friends. If you haven't donated you still have a month until the walk. We got Lory to her personal goal, but her team still needs a chunk of money. So it's definitely still a great time to jump in and support the cause.
