stuball Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Sounds really worthwhile. Gotta love the way cruisers always come together for causes like this. Hope it all goes well in memory of the little guy
Scotteh Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 aye tis nice to see ppl getting together for good causes

Lee R Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 raise money for his family.<{POST_SNAPBACK}><{POST_SNAPBACK}> thought that was the case. serious question again. why?
Kirsty Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) I suppose its a nice thought that complete strangers are willing to contribute even 50p to aid you in rebuilding your life once you've lost all your material possessions, home and your child. No one is forcing anyone to contribute anyway, its up to the individual if they do or not. Their choice Edited September 9, 2005 by Kirsty
foxdie Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 agreed. Money wont bring the kid back? i think it should be donated to great ormand street or equivlant

Lee R Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 agreed. Money wont bring the kid back? i think it should be donated to great ormand street or equivlant <{POST_SNAPBACK}> exactly the point I was getting at help other kids that need it to stay alive

I dont even know these people.... well I 'might' know one but I aint sure lol. Just thought people might be interested in going to the event or just knowing about it. I'm not sure if they personally arranged it or whether it was friends, I just got it in an email. Its just a nice gesture at the end of the day. Edited September 9, 2005 by Kirsty
foxdie Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Not to be nasty, i do feel for the parents, but to put this into perpective, theres 500,00 thousand people in new orleans that lost houses and love ones.
