Thanks for what you do. Giving a contribution is the least I can do.

B im with you.... When i broke my humerus in 2000 the broken bone also damanged and bruised my radial and ulnar nerve, leaving my arm numb from the elbow down, i was also unable to move my hand/fingers from the wrist down, my hand and wrist just hung there lifeless. i could flex my fingers and wrist in to make some what of a fist but no extension whatsoever was possible for the fingers or wrist... i kept hope that the nerve might heal and id regain use again but it never did... for one year i had no use of my wrist and fingers on my right side, i also had to wear a hedious brace to prevent atrophy from happening... i was crushed when i was told that it would never heal, however, thank god though modern medicine and research i was able to have a procedure called a tendon transfer... they used a piece of tendon and muscles in my arm used for flexion and fused it all into the tendons that are used for extension, the end result was me being able to extend and use my wrist and fingers again in my right hand/wrist... i do have limitations and it will never be 100% normal, however i have adapted very well and can do almost anything i want, including playing the guitar ... i know this injury pales in comparison to a person that has lost use of limbs or legs all together forever... but it did open my eyes to the reality of things.... knowing that in the future people who suffer an injury similar to mine may be able, though stem cell research to have the damaged protion of nerve regenerated and bring life back to the damaged limb... knowthing this i feel really good that we chose this chaity and i am proud to have given a little bit to it

Great charity!

[BOBBO]

So ..... Would you guys like periodic updates on tickets sales and the donation total ??? Or should I save it for the end of the contest ??? Opinions ???

[mrpesca]

Updates are good. It's a way to know how far your odds have gone down and if you need to buy more. Could boost sales?

MLP Pickups for Charity CONTEST !!!

The Official PayPal account for the MLP pickups for charity raffle contest is :

MlpforCharity@aol.com

As of right now, paypal is the only accepted method of payment for raffle tickets. I will issue a receipt (please allow 24-48 hrs) when payment is made which will be your confirmation of the number of tickets you have bought (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more). Tickets are one dollar ($1) US each, and you are allowed as many tickets as you would like to buy until the deadline.


When sending me a payment , Please send an Email to MLPforCharity@aol.com with your MLP username , Your Real name ( or the name on the Paypal payment ) address, and PayPal email address, this way I can sync them up with the paypal account and can mark you as paid.... There will be PayPal fees taken out of the donation amounts , So the total collected will be less than the total tickets sold ...


If any of these requirements are not met, it is not my responsibility to make refunds or list you as having paid. I must have your name, username, paypal acct address, and your street/mailing address to count you as having paid.

Other methods of payment may be on a case to case basis, paypal is the safest for you, me, and MLP.

You are responsible for determining the legality of raffles/contests in your state/confederate/prefecture/city-state/country/county/province/parish/hemisphere/autocracy/monarchy/dictatorship/theocracy/fuedal government/republic/etc..

Odds of winning based soley on the number of entries. There will be 2 Grand Prize winners !!! Each winner will get one set of the PAF's !!!

Thank you and good luck!

Bobbo !!!
