Spin out man!
I was reading the article on Oprah about the 250K donation on yahoo and I was like, "I wonder who it was donated to..."
Then I see Christian and Rachel Anderson!
"Hang on a minute...I know that guy!"
<insert sound of my mind blowing>
I'm sure you're very busy at the moment Kris, but a thousand congratulations...or should I say 250,000!
P.S. Yahoo spelt his name wrong, it's Kristian with a K guys! (yeah, I was a little offended that they stuffed up his spelling. lol)

I am also quite surprised about this. Never in my life would i have ever even mentioned the words "thanks" and "Oprah" in the same sentence.
My faith in the human spirit has been restored a fraction. I hope this helps you with your problems Kris, it should get you more of those treatments anyway.
It's a shame that TR forum goers and the initial donation to Kris for that treatment wasn't mentioned though.
It does not matter a whit, i wrote away for a nomination for this forum to the humane society, after seeing that all you lot chucked in it made me realise that the audio community
is a very close knit bunch of caring people.
So yes, Good on you, Microsoft, Xbox, Oprah and all you Turtle Rockers,
You make me proud to be an Australian right now.
Now will someone put that woman on a plane, i've had enough of the circus already.

That is brilliant, wow. I cannot stand Oprah to be honest like many of us, the shrill of her voice alone raises my blood pressure, nevertheless this is an astonishing gesture and her team that would have been looking into this should be congratulated. Awesome.

...all because you made something beautiful for your wife, and in doing so you made our world a little bit better too.
Still praying for a clean bill of health!

Thanks everyone.
It's certainly been a wild ride. Have to keep mum about it until the show airs but wanted to say thanks for all the well wishes.

I read about this a few days ago in an old newspaper, while I was waiting for a coffee in the local coffee shop. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day.
All the best, Kris! Have a fantastic Christmas with the fam!
