Hi Rick

can you find out if we have reached our $5000 target?

[Alistair]

Hi Rick- have PM'd you but haven't got details. Can you let me know if you didn't get my PM?

[rick]

ok just had a chat to kristian
he is having a chemo week so he is pretty crook and apoligises for being off the air in the last couple of days
he is so humbled by our efforts !
$2800 has hit their account and by my count $3600 has been promised so we still have a way to go
but he is on officially the list for the operation now and is hopeful it will happen sooner rather then later
keep it up i reckon guys this weekends beer money can do other things better for everybody given the chance

[musikwerks]

Hi guys. Just spoke to Rick and gave him an update.

I had chemo yesterday so I'm a bit fuzzy at the moment, but I wanted to say thank you for your generosity. You could pretty much knock me over with a feather at the moment. I just don't know what to say.

If you're interested, here's a link that describes the procedure I'm up for. It's relatively new which is probably why it's not Medicare approved yet. Government wheels turn slowly sometimes but we live in a very lucky country. I'd hate to be self employed and in this situation in the USA.

Again, thank you.

Kristian, Rachel, Cody and Jakob.

I'm good for a hundred too.

I've got a couple of ripe pineapples burning a hole in my pocket Rick.

Just letting you know my donation hasn't gone through because I can't access my account from overseas as I need to receive an SMS to authorise a new account transaction. So STUPID. Never fear though I'll be depositing it the moment I return to aus mid next week. I've got the details so no problems there.

Godspeed the healing.

Ditto. I am in NZ at the moment, I'll be back in Sydney next Tuesday and this will be my first task upon touching down.

[Jason]

Put me down for $100. Will put it in next week when the pay comes in. Can I grab some details when you can Rick.



Cheers. Jason

[Senad]

Just caught up with the thread now.. $100 on its way.Could I please have the details Rick.
All the best Kristian.

[Senad]

Done...thanks Rick

[Alistair]

Sent off today- thanks for the details Rick.

All the best Kris, let me know if it doesn't make it

[no-fi]

Done! $100 and my best wishes for your health on their way now.

[heathen]

Only reason I did'nt look earlier is that I can't afford the U47, but I can afford a hundred bucks so Kris can keep it, send the details Rick I'm in for a hundred bucks later in the week.

[heathen]

Glad your getting one of the targeted treatments now, they have shown exceptional results for some people. Good luck with the procedure.

Done.

[rick]

just waiting for confirmation
but by my count we hit $5000 sometime over the weekend !
thats $5000 on turtlerock in a week ... !
wow what a achievement by a bunch of sound guys struggling on their own to make ends meet...

i always knew we had something cool going on here and
i apoligise for the times i have had doubts in the worth of this forum

but who knew ..?
i feel so good about what we have done here who knows what come next..

best of luck with this "hot rock" treatment kris at least now you can bridge the medicare gap and with all the good wishes coming you way from around the world and from particularly this little corner of it
you have got to have some extra fuel in your tank now !

so waiting on confirmation but ...wohoo !

[Alistair]

Great to hear. I had a feeling we would make it, but that was pretty quick!

[Nigel99]

You guys are too sweet. Kris, expect a donation from me toward your cause.

Such an impressive show of generousity.

N

[Chinagraf]

Well done guys. I've had a &@#! of a day, but this put a smile on my face. Love it.
Go Kris!

[TimS]

I haven't visited here in some time, but I was catching up with tunetown over the weekend when he mentioned this thread.
I would also like to donate $100 towards Kris' treatment - instead of seeing Kris parting with a piece of history.
Funnily enough, I was in the US for meetings 2 weeks ago at Greater Baltimore Medical Centre (which is not far from the Greenebaum Cancer Centre in Maryland where they do SIRT) - I could have snuck home some of their magic for you Kris
Anyway, I hope your treatment goes well mate - fingers crossed.
Rick, please PM me details for DD transfer..

[tunetown]

That's great Rick. Without your support of this forum this would never have been possible. I sincerely hope that this new treatment for Kris is successful.

I'm still speaking at Rotary tonight. Even though we have raised the money, I will still twist their arms to see what else I can extract.

Thanks everyone. This forum truly is the finest example of community anywhere on the net.

We should all be proud.

Cheers

[Ben M]

Finest display of human kindness. Well done t'rockers!

[graemeh]

Whoo-hoo!!!

Great news, and a fine example of the human spirit in this sometimes not-so-fine world.

...and thanks to tunetown for starting it all off with his hundred, and for rick for keeping it rolling...

Good luck Kris, Rachel and kids!
